Oven Roasted Bbq Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 -8 pieces bone-in chicken breasts, with skin or 6 -8 pieces chicken legs, with skin on
canola oil, as needed
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup chili sauce (such as Heinz)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon minced onion
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 dash dried thyme, to taste
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 bay leaf, crumbled

Preparation

Heat oil in a deep 12\" size skillet- you will need more or less as needed to brown chicken.
Place chicken in the hot oil and brown on all sides, then remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess grease.
You may need to do this in batches, depending upon pan size.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 325 F and have ready a roasting pan greased lightly with oil; place browned chicken pieces in pan.
Combine remaining ingredients and pour over the chicken.
Bake for 1 hour or until chicken is fully cooked and juices run clear with chicken is pierced, basting occasionally with the pan juices.
