BBQ chicken couldn't be easier prepared in an electric skillet. I serve this with baked rice and drizzle the juices over it. Add some tender mixed vegetables and dinner is served in record time! Enjoy! The recipe is my own and so are the photos.

How To Make bonnie's bbq chicken in a skillet

  • 1
    I use a small electric skillet for 8 thighs, and the larger one holds 14 thighs. (Double the sauce and use one whole onion for 14 thighs)
  • 2
    Chop one half of an onion. Set aside
  • 3
    Wash the chicken, remove the skin and bones. Pat dry, and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Melt butter in the electric skillet on 350. Make sure it isn't too hot as temperatures can vary on some skillets. Add the chicken pieces to the melted butter, and fry on both sides until golden brown.

    When the chicken is done, push a few pieces to the side in the pan, and add the chopped onions. Stir them a few times and cook them until they are half done.

    Combine the ingredients for the sauce and mix well. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Add the lid, turn the heat to as low as possible and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir several times. Keep the lid on. Turn off the heat while you get the rest of the dinner together, turning the heat back on for about 4 minutes before serving. Drizzle the juices over the rice.
