Description

What I had to do to squeeze this recipe from my neighbor…but it’s worth it. This is a scrumptious version of sticky chicken.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup prepared barbecue sauce
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup red wine
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon dry mustard powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Whisk together the barbecue sauce
  3. soy sauce
  4. red wine
  5. maple syrup
  6. chili powder
  7. dry mustard powder
  8. garlic powder
  9. onion powder
  10. and cumin in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
  11. Place the chicken breasts into a 9×13-inch baking dish
  12. and pour the sauce over the chicken. Turn the chicken pieces over in the sauce to coat both sides.
  13. Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear
  14. about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the baking dish
  15. and keep warm.
  16. Pour the remaining sauce into a saucepan
  17. place over medium heat
  18. and bring to a boil. Whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the sauce; reduce heat to a simmer
  19. and allow the sauce to thicken
  20. whisking constantly. Return the chicken to the dish
  21. and pour the thickened sauce over the chicken to serve.
