BBQ Chicken, Mac & Cheese, and Mashed Potatoes



I wanted to use up the leftover BBQ sauce from my brisket recipe so I decided to marinate and bake some chicken. I think by keeping it simple and homemade the food tasted better.

Ingredients
10 Chicken Drumsticks
4 Chicken Breasts
3 cups BBQ Sauce

Mac and Cheese Ingredients (found in Feb 2010 post)
Mashed Potatoes Ingredients

Directions:

1. Place chicken in a plastic bag and pour in half the marinade. Seal bag and rub chicken so marinade coats everything. Set in a bowl and place in the fridge for 4 hours or up to 2 days.

2. Make Mac and Cheese. Cover with plastic wrap and refridgerate until ready. (you can freeze the mac and cheese for a dinner at a later date)

3. Make mashed potatoes. Keep on stove top until ready to use and then reheat slowly over medium heat while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.

To put everything together:

1. Place chicken on a foil lined pan and place into a preheated 350 degree oven. Cook until chicken reaches 160 degrees about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

2. When chicken is half finished mac and cheese (uncovered) to oven.

3. When chicken is finished remove from oven and cover with foil to keep warm. Turn broiler on in oven and place mac and cheese about 6 inches from heat source on top of oven. Heat mashed potatoes on stove top while mac and cheese browns.

4. Once everything is finished remove to the table and enjoy!
