🐓 Sticky Balsamic BBQ Chicken | it was hot AF outside, so instead of slaving over the grill I let my oven do the work. This chicken is juicy, it’s moist, it’s sticky, and has the perfect balance of sweet & spicy thanks to the Calabrian Chili Balsamic BBQ Sauce. 

Ohh.. and serve it with this fennel slaw to cut through the richness! 

🐓 Chicken 
2 chicken quarters 
2 tsp salt 
1.5 tsp each of dried oregano, thyme, and basil
1 tsp each of onion powder and garlic powder 
1/2 tsp smoked paprika 
1/4 tsp black pepper 
Evoo 

🌶️ Calabrian Balsamic BBQ
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 
1/4 cup ketchup 
2 tbsp brown sugar 
1 tbsp Dijon mustard 
1 rounded tbsp Calabrian Chili Paste 
Salt 

🥬 Fennel Slaw 
2 fennel bulbs thinly sliced 
1 pack of dill, chopped 
Handful fennel fronds, chopped 
2 blood oranges, supreme 
1/2 cup Greek yogurt 
Salt and pepper 
EVOO

Preheat your oven to 425°, and line a sheet tray with parchment paper and a wire rack. 

Add the chicken to a bowl, and drizzle with oil. Then in a separate bowl, mix together all the seasonings so they evenly distribute. Add the seasonings to the chicken, and rub until fully coated. 

Add all the BBQ sauce ingredients to a small skillet. Whisk until combined, then heat over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Once simmering lower the heat and continue to simmer for 10 minutes. 

Cook the chicken for 25 minutes. Then remove and brush with the bbq sauce. Add it back to the oven and cook for another 20 minutes. Then remove and brush one more time with the remaining bbq sauce. Add back to the oven one last time and cook for 5-10 minutes or until desired temp is reached. 

While the chicken cooks, add all the fennel slaw ingredients to a large bowl. Mix until combined, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
