Celebration BBQ Chicken

This is fusion cooking, neither one thing nor the other. Wherever you live, it's not what they call barbecue around there. But taste it and that won't matter.

Sauce ingredients:
6 oz tomato paste
3/4 c honey
1/2 c ketchup
1/4 c butter
2 T vinegar
4 tsp. Dijon mustard
2 T brown sugar
3 T soy sauce (tamari for the gluten free; most soy sauces have gluten)

Additionally:
1 entire cut up chicken, skin on

---

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine sauce ingredients in a pan, stir, and bring to boil.

Simmer five minutes while arranging chicken in casserole dish skin side down.

Spoon 1/3 cup sauce over the chicken then bake 1/2 hour.

Take the casserole dish from the oven and turn the chicken skin side up. Spoon 1/3 cup sauce over the chicken and bake the chicken for 15 minutes.

Spoon the remaining sauce over the chicken and bake for 15 minutes.

Brown the chicken under the broiler.

Servings: Roughly four, but this will depend on the size of the chicken.

Note: Cooking times, like number of servings, are approximate and depend on the size of the chicken. The chicken should reach a temperature of 165 degrees for safety’s sake and the sauce should have started to caramelize before you serve it.
