How to make it

  • First prepare your leg-quarters. Cut off the backs if desired. They may be saved and used for soup stock. Remove the skin and all of the chunks of fat around the edges. If desired you may cut the legs and thighs apart with a sharp knife or poultry shears. It takes about 4 leg-quarters to make 3 to 3-1/2-pounds of chicken.
  • Place the chicken in a gallon sized bag. In a small bowl combine the ketchup, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and hot pepper sauce if you are using it. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the bag. Marinate for an hour, or overnight, if desired. Turn the bag from time to time to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce.
  • When you are ready to bake the chicken, arrange it on a well oiled baking sheet. I use a large pizza pan, and line it with 2 layers of tin foil to make clean up easier. If there is any sauce left in the bag, pour it evenly over the chicken in the pan. Throw the bag away. Bake the chicken at 375° for 45 to 55 minutes. There, it is done.
  • It is also good prepared on the grill in the summertime. Without the hot sauce, this is a child friendly recipe.

    I am trying this right now - half of my chicken is in a bag with the marinade with hot sauce and half is in a bag with the marinade without hot sauce. I think my family will like both.
