“This oven bbq chicken is the simplest thing you can put together–preparation is super easy, using simple ingredients and the result is moist, flavorful, and absolutely mouth-watering.”

Happy Wednesday! Can you believe that January is almost over? Where did the time go? Here in NYC it’s been pretty frigid. Last Monday, my daughter and I decided to take a leisurely walk on the beach, less than a minute later we were racing back inside. Tomorrow, we will have record low temps! I am afraid, very afraid! This weather calls for soup or fish broth, check out that recipe here.

If that doesn’t work for you, maybe some stewed oxtail, with stewed red beans and rice will warm you up! If you choose to stay indoors, maybe it’s time to finally attempt to make pholourie or Trini doubles? They are much easier to make than you think!

We are finishing up the left over fish broth I made on Sunday(yes leftovers just gets better) and tonight I will make some sada roti to go with the pumpkin I made last night. The Dah picked up two 22 oz packages of cubed pumpkin and those things require that you cook them ASAP because they go bad quickly.

Tomorrow, I plan to make this shrimp pasta, so look forward to new pics and updates. The current pictures do not do it justice! It’s time for an upgrade, don’t you think?

To pretend it’s not winter, make some oven bbq chicken with home made bbq sauce. If that doesn’t bring some sunshine into your life, I don’t know what to say or do.

BBQ chicken and homemade sauce doesn’t get any better than this. I’ve been throwing lavish BBQ’s every 4th of July for as long as I can remember, so I know BBQ well!

This oven bbq chicken is the simplest thing you can put together–preparation is super easy, using simple ingredients and the result is moist, flavorful, and absolutely mouth-watering.

Coated with the accompanying simple, sweet, spicy homemade sauce, it is irresistible. The BBQ sauce creates a sticky glaze on whatever meat you intend to use it on–including Oven Baked Ribs or Oven BBQ Lamb or Oven Baked Lamb. It’s sweet, tangy, full of layers of flavor, and spicy if you need it to be.

This recipe was highly requested after I posted a YouTube Video of the Oven Baked Chicken with this sauce seductively slathered over it. Check it out!
