Main Ingredients

  • 8 chicken pieces
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
 

The "Growth" Process

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the "mud" mixture.
  • Place the chicken pieces into the prepared baking dish and evenly coat them with the "mud" sauce.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve your "grown" Mississippi Mud Chicken warm.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the "mud" mixture. This dish can be served with rice, mashed potatoes, or a side salad. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
