Red Chicken

This recipe was given to me by a friend of my mother. I made it once for my inlaws and ever since then I have had to make it at least once every two months. They love it... I sometimes use chicken thighs for this recipe instead of a whole chicken cut into portions.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup water
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 ½ tablespoons white sugar
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground dry mustard
• 1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or to taste
• 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
• 3 ½ tablespoons chutney
• 3 ½ tablespoons distilled white vinegar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Place flour, salt, and black pepper into a resealable plastic zipper bag, close the bag, and shake several times to mix. Place chicken pieces into the bag, a few at a time, and shake to coat with seasoned flour; place chicken into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the onion over the chicken pieces. Mix together the tomato sauce, water, chutney, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, ground mustard, and hot pepper sauce in a bowl until the sugar dissolves. Pour the sauce over the onion and chicken.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until the sauce is bubbling, the chicken is no longer pink inside, and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
