How to Make Bbq Marmalade Chicken

  1. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup orange marmalade and 1/4 cup soy sauce.
  2. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1 minute, or until softened. Alternatively, melt in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce.
  4. **Crockpot Method:** Place 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in your crockpot. Pour the marmalade-BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it's coated evenly.
  5. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork.
  6. **Oven Method:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a large, oven-safe casserole dish (at least 16 cups). Pour the marmalade-BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it's coated evenly.
  7. Set the casserole dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
  8. Bake, covered, for 1 ¾ hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly. The chicken should be springy to the touch.
  9. **Optional: Thicken the Sauce:** For a thicker sauce, remove the cooked chicken to a large serving bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water until smooth.
  10. Carefully pour the cooking liquid from the crockpot or casserole dish into a medium saucepan.
  11. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  12. Reduce heat to medium and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens (about 2 minutes).
  13. Pour the thickened sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.
  14. Serve with steamed broccoli and mashed sweet potatoes.
