Mom's Singapore Chicken
Temp: 325 deg F (160 deg C)
3 lb chicken, cut up
Flour, salt and pepper
Sauce:
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup bottled chili sauce (such as Heinz)
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup Ketchup
1 small clove garlic, minced or pressed (or good pinch garlic powder)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp liquid red pepper seasoning (such as Tabasco or Louisiana hot sauce)
Trim and remove extra skin and fat from chicken. If using legs, cut at the joint in two pieces.
In a pie plate, combine 1/2 cup flour with salt and pepper, and other seasonings, if you wish. Coat chicken pieces with seasoned flour. Arrange in shallow 9 x 13 pan and bake for 45 minutes.
Combine sauce ingredients and set aside. Drain fat from cooked chicken pieces, pour sauce over chicken in baking dish. Return to oven and bake for another 45 minutes, basting 2-3 times with sauce.
NOTE: If you like a lot of sauce, double the ingredients but cook the extras in a separate dish so the baked chicken can develop a golden crusty coating.
