How to Make Scrumptious Barbecue Chicken Or Spareribs

  1. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, in 1 tablespoon of water until softened (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the softened onion with the remaining sauce ingredients (see below) and simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. Brown your choice of 2 lbs bone-in chicken pieces or 2 lbs spareribs in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Transfer the browned meat to a large baking dish.
  5. Pour the barbecue sauce over the meat, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  6. Bake uncovered at 250°F (120°C) for 2 hours and 30 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and tender. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) for chicken and 190°F (88°C) for spareribs.
