bbq: I'm making dinner tonight for a family of 5, I have 18 peace's of chicken, instiant mashed potatoes but no gravy b/c i have no mix and money to buy one, And cut green beans. I was wondering how long does it take to bake bbq chicken? and what temp should i set the oven? Any idea's to make it taste better?|||Oven BBQ Chicken http://www.cherskitchen.com/recipes/poul鈥?/a>|||I am guessing you have bone-in chicken with the skin so at 350-375 degrees it is going to take 45 minutes to 1 hour to cook the chicken. It may take longer than that depending on your oven so check to make sure the chicken's juices run clear and the meat is cooked all the way through especially on the dark meat. Since you have so much chicken you may want to divide it between two pans so the chicken doesn't get crowded in the pan. If the chicken is crowded in the pan it might not cook properly and will take longer to cook. To make the chicken taste better you can soak it in a brine or a marinade for a few hours. To make a brine take salt and mix it into water until dissolved. Soak your chicken in it (or the marinade) for a few hours. I would add in milk, butter or sour cream in the mashed potatoes since you don't have gravy. Or you can make a pan sauce from the drippings from the chicken once it's cooked.|||You can make gravy from the pan dripping of the chicken. Place your chicken in the pan and Spray it lightly with oil or Pam then sprinkle it all over with garlic powder, onion powder basil, salt and pepper. Bake it at 350 degrees F for about 45 minutes or until you reach an internal temperature of 170 degrees. If you don't have a meat thermometer you should get one but you can check to make sure all the juices are running clear - no signs of blood.. For the gravy - take the pan drippings and pour them into a skillet fill a coffe cup half full with water. Add 1 tablespoon of flour and stir until all lumps are gone. Turn heat on low and when the dripping start to sizzle slowly add the flour & water stirring constantly. It will thicken after a few minutes. You can add another half cup of water or cream if you wish then add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
