Description

Simple and easy. Mix it up and cover chicken in it. Bake or grill, works either way.

Ingredients

  • 4 whole Boneless Chicken Breasts
  • Salt And Pepper
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • _____
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • ½ bottles (12 Oz. Bottle) Root Beer, Or About 1 Cup
  • ½ cups Dark Brown Sugar
  • ½ cups Ketchup
  • 1 Tablespoon BBQ Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Pepper Jelly Or Jelly Jam
  • 1 teaspoon Spicy Mustard

Preparation

Combine all sauce ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced and thickened. Hold over a very low heat until needed. Separate the sauce into two bowls (one for brushing on raw chicken and one for serving with your chicken on the side). Go ahead and taste it before brushing it on.

Preheat oven to 350º and line cookie sheet with foil or spray with non-stick spray.

Season your chicken with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder on both sides. Place on the baking sheet and brush them with the root beer sauce. Bake about 10 minutes then turn over and brush with more root beer sauce and continue baking in the oven until they are done how you like them and thoroughly cooked through, about 15 minutes more. You can take the heat outside and grill it too.

I made this the other night and my husband and I loved it! I, too, will try it on the grill next time. I didn’t have dark brown sugar so I used my light brown sugar and added a tablespoon of molasses.

My picky son doesn’t like barbecue sauce but he loved this Root Beer Chicken. I will definitely make it again. Next time I might put it on the grill instead of cooking it in the oven. It was delicious!
