Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Chicken

This is an easy recipe with delicious results. The chicken is quickly browned, then slowly simmered in a sweet and spicy barbecue sauce. So good!  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

Directions:

Heat oil in large pan.  Add the chicken and season on both sides with the pepper.  Brown chicken on both sides.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the bbq sauce, applesauce, sugar and chili powder. Mix very well.

Pour over browned chicken, making sure it's all covered. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover and cook for 30 minutes.

Enjoy!
