Cranberry BBQ Chicken
SUBMITTED BY:

"A very pretty chicken; you can use a whole chicken cut up, or pieces. I generally use Country Legs (thigh & drumstick) as that is the cheapest chicken available."

I knew when I saw this recipe that I would love it and I was not disappointed! This was a yummy dish; the chicken was really tender and the sauce was delicious. If you arent wild about sweet dishes this probably isnt for you, but I really enjoyed this and will definitley make it again and again. (I didnt have the veggies on hand the first time I made it; just cooked the chicken w/ the cran and bbq alone and it was still excellent).

The smell alone while this was in the oven should be an air freshener. 90 mins don't seem like a long time but when it smells that good it seems like eons. This was awesome chicken! We had it two days in a row and wasted nothing! Even my picky 5 year old thought it was the greatest chicken he ever had. The only chicken he liked prior to this was in nugget form. I followed the recipe exactly as stated. As I said, it smelled great, looked pretty and tasted wonderful. Never thought of using cranberries for anything but cranberry sauce. Served it with corn bread muffins and buttered asparagus. This will be the way I bake chicken from now on. I am really thinking about trying the sauce on ribs. YUMMY!

I adapated this recipe for my crock pot--which was super easy and pretty good. I used two pounds of skinless/boneless chicken thighs, and cut them up a bit. I put them right in the pot with the other ingredients, and included two cloves of minced garlic. Cooked on low for six hours. I added about 1 cup of frozen peas just a few minutes before serving, and served it with white rice. Very nice with a tossed salad!

My kids gobbled this up! I used a spicy bbq sauce by accident and it toned down the spice a lot! In my opinion, do not cover this dish with foil. If you do the sauce does not get as "sticky" and "gooey" as it needs to. It caramelized so nicely on top of the chicken and if I would have used foil on top I know all that yumminess would have slid right off. I didn't use the onion and celery because it didn't appeal to me. Try this, it's great!

This was very good. If you cover the pan with foil, the sauce doesn't burn and you don't need to baste.

A truly excellent recipe. It's very simple to make--mostly just the cranberry, BBQ sauce, and onion (I hate celery, so I left that out)! The only part that's a bit tedious is the basting every 15 minutes, but it's worth it in the end. I've made this chicken twice so far, and have had guests and family raving over it. I think my Dad's hooked on it...I'm hoping I can find another chicken recipe that will live up to the success of this one! Thanks so much for a wonderful, delicious recipe--this one is a real keeper.

I am not a big fan of anything that calls for jarred sauces but this recipe was a big hit, especially with my 14 year old. She rarely comments but tonight she went all out to make me understand that this was a good dinner. The combination of flavors and textures made for a truly interesting change of pace. I poured off the excess fat after frying the chicken and found that it was done after 60 mins. We served it with rice and a salad.

My kids loved the chunky celery and onions with the cranberries. I loved that I didn't have to buy special ingredients for this recipe. I had everything in my pantry and freezer. I was suprised that it retained the saucy texture even though it cooked so long.

My family loves this chicken! We like the mixture of sweet and spicey so I used extra spicey bbq sauce. It couldn't be easier to make. I even adapted the ingredients to make a sauce for cocktail weenies. They were a big hit over the holidays.

Delicious chicken!! Everyone LOVES this chicken. I did alter it though. I cut out the celery and just put onion rings underneath. I also cut out the step of browning in butter. I just place it straight into the pan, spice it (I also use paprika) and then pour the sause combo. over. Thanks for a great chicken recipe!
