Oven Barbecued Chicken
This Oven Barbecued Chicken is one of our favorite meals - easy to pull together even when it's not grilling weather.

Ingredients
- 1 6 oz tomato paste
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 Tbsp tamari
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp dry mustard
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 2 Tbsp onion (finely chopped)
- 1 small chunk ginger
- 2 Tbsp xylitol (see Recipe Notes for alternatives)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, whisk the water into the tomato paste.
- Add other ingredients and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes.
- Spoon and spread evenly over chicken.
- Bake at 350 degrees (375 if you prefer more of a "grilled" effect) for 50 minutes or until internal temperature reaches at least 180 degrees. My family prefers the chicken more well-done so I cooked it a bit longer.
- One batch of the sauce is sufficient for one whole chicken weighing approximately 4 pounds, with perhaps a bit left over.
Notes
Jarred tomato paste may be better due to BPA issues. Like we didn't have enough to worry about already!
