Baked Chicken with Cola Barbecue Sauce

Comments
This is an easy and delicious recipe. My husband said it is a repeat recipe. We like our food spicy so for the hot sauce I added Sambal Oelek - Ground Fresh Chili Paste (2 tablespoons). I know this sounds really hot but the ketchup must have softened the spicy. It just had moderate heat and really good. The ketchup was not overpowering. The sauce is exceptional.

Ingredients
1 1/4 cups cola soft drink, Coca-Cola
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon hot sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon garlic salt
8 bone-in, skinned chicken pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil

Procedure
SAUCE

1. In a medium saucepan, combine cola, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, hot sauce, and garlic salt; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.

2. Remove from heat and reserve 1 cup sauce in a small bowl for serving.

3. Makes approximately 2 cups of scrumptious sauce.

CHICKEN

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

3. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned, turning occasionally.

4. Place pan in oven, and bake chicken for 20 minutes.

5. Discard excess fat from the pan.

6. Brush chicken with remaining 1 cup sauce.

7. Bake for 15 to 30 minutes longer, or until done, turning and brushing occasionally with sauce.

8. Serve with reserved 1 cup sauce.

Zana's notes:
Adjusting the heat to your tolerance is the way to go. I made this for a group of people and actually made the sauce in two batches - mild and kick-arse...

The mild sauce was left over!
