Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix oil and margarine together in a baking tin.
- Place salted, skinless chicken pieces in the oil and margarine mixture.
- Cover and bake in a 350°F oven for 1 1/2 hours.
- When cooked, skim off the grease and chicken fat.
Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, marinate the skinless chicken pieces in the oil and margarine mixture for a few hours or overnight before baking. You can substitute margarine with butter for a richer taste. If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding your favorite hot sauce or spices to the oil mix. For a healthier twist, you can use olive oil instead of regular oil.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Bar B-Q Chicken with a side of baked beans or coleslaw for a classic barbecue meal. It pairs beautifully with Microwave Broccoli Chicken for a balanced dinner. For a lighter meal, consider serving it with a fresh garden salad or grilled vegetables. This dish also works well as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Bar B-Q Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F until heated through, about 15-20 minutes. You can also microwave it, but be cautious not to overcook it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in chicken pieces for this recipe?
Yes, you can use bone-in chicken pieces; just adjust the cooking time as they may require an additional 15-30 minutes to cook through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safety.
What can I do if I don't have a baking tin?
If you don't have a baking tin, you can use any oven-safe dish, such as a casserole dish or a cast-iron skillet. Just make sure it's large enough to hold the chicken pieces in a single layer for even cooking.
Can I add vegetables to the baking dish?
Absolutely! Adding vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or carrots can enhance the dish and add flavor. Just make sure to cut them into even pieces so they cook at the same rate as the chicken.
