Makes 4 to 6 servings (about 3 cups sauce)
A great BBQ made in a casserole in the oven. Can be prepared ahead, refrigerated until ready to bake.
About 3 lbs cut-up chicken or chicken breasts, thighs, legs
1/3 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt
About 1/3 cup oil
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1/2 cup finely diced celery
1/2 cup finely diced green pepper
1 cup catsup
1 cup Coca-Cola
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon hickory smoked salt
1/2 teaspoon basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Rinse chicken pieces; pat dry. Coat chicken with the flour and the 2 teaspoons salt. Brown pieces on all sides in the hot oil then place pieces in a 3-qt casserole. (Discard drippings.) Combine remaining ingredients, mixing well. Spoon sauce over chicken, covering all pieces. Cover casserole, bake in moderate oven, 350F, about 1 1/4 hours, or until chicken is fork-tender. If desired, serve chicken with sauce on hot cooked rice.
