Here's a family favorite that's sure to please and so easy for those busy days. It's sweet and spicy flavors will delight your taste buds and have you going back for more! My son loves this dish and had two big plates! Serve with Beer Rice, (recipe below), a big tossed salad, and hot, crusty French rolls to mop up the sweet and spicy sauce. Out of this world! Le bon manger', cher!
Sweet and Spicy Baked Chicken
2 lbs. chicken pieces, (thighs, breasts, legs)
1 tbs. or more Cajun seasoning
Worcestershire sauce
Salt and Tabasco to taste
Season chicken pieces, with salt and Cajun seasoning in large baking pan. Shake on Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco, on each piece, cover with foil, and refrigerate for one hour or overnight.
1 tsp. yellow mustard
1 tsp.. Tabasco sauce
1 tsp. paprika
1 tbs. Worcestershire sauce
Combine all of the above ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 2o minutes, stirring often. If sauce is too thick, add a little water.
Meanwhile, bake the chicken in a 350 degree oven, for 10 minutes on each side, to brown. Then, pour sauce over chicken and bake for 15 more minutes. Turn and baste other side with some of the sauce and bake for 15 more minutes. Cest bon, cher! Enjoy!

Here' a little clip that I took at Festival Acadiens, in October. Kevin Naquin and the Ossun Playboys were rockin' the crowd at the La Salle de Danse tent. Several friends of mine were really cutting the rug. This one's for you, Nancy! Let the good times roll, cher!

That beer rice is interesting! I can't wait to try it, with or without the yummy spicy and sweet chicken. Uh, I'm now hungry again.
It all looks interesting. Fortunately, I ate a while ago.
Okay Marguerite, I'm not too fancy of a cook, so this chicken recipe is right up my alley, it looks pretty easy for me to take on :)
Beer rice? I'm writing down that one! Thanks...
Sounds delish!
Catsup and orange marmalade and some tabasco, sounds delicious I'm going to try this, I have all the ingredients right in my fridge.
Certainly a dish worth eating, but I won't compete with your son! Two plates!

Beer and rice, miam miam

The beer rice caught my eye, sounds like it would be a great side dish to some smoked ribs.

Drick- Merci for your sweet comment, cher! Both are yummy and I hope you give them a try! Use a good Mexican beer for the rice. Have a wonderful weekend!
nanny- Thanks, so glad you like them! They are both so easy and I hope that you try them! Cheers! Happy weekend!
Velva- Thanks, so happy you want to try it. It's very spicy, but the heat can be turned down by using mild salsa and cutting the Tabasco in half. Enjoy! Yes, it does! lol
Pooch- Thanks, cher, it definitely does! It's a little chilly here, so, I'll bet it's getting more than a little frosty up there! Stay warm and have a great weekend! Cheers!
