the squidgy bits: oven baked chicken in a sweet barbeque sauce

I like chicken well enough but I do get queasy around those squidgy bits that reside close to the bone. I could just buy the expensive skinless, boneless chicken breasts, but I’m too much of a skinflint to justify chicken breasts on a Wednesday night. Call me old fashioned, I don’t mind. So when I’m buying, I go for the thighs. I peel off the skin, remove as much fat as I can and then find a recipe that imparts so much flavour that when it comes to the eatin’, I can joyfully munch around all the bits that make me queasy. This recipe definitely has a tasty sauce with my favorite flavour combination of sweet and sour and it manages to put my mind to rest. Plus, it’s super easy to whip up when watching a round of America’s Next Top Model. And I can almost guarantee it that those models don’t eat the squidgy bits either.

    Hi Kickpleat,

    I know how you feel about the squidgy bits … I feel the same way.

    Wonderful recipe, though. I think that sauce might even get me to eat the squidgy bits!

    I feel the same way about chicken. I do however never buy chicken on the bone, I just can’t do it!
    This looks great!

    I have been making your Chickpea & romaine salad with lemon-parmesan vinaigrette since 2008! I want to tell you it is the best salad ever. We make it a lot in the summer. I just had to tell you cause we had it tonight for supper. I even took the recipe to Spain and they loved it also.
    Thanks
