Baked Brown Sugar Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce



















Our last weekend to get ready for family visit on 29th for July 4th Week.  I mowed grass for 5 hours.  Yes, 5 hours.  Every part of my body hurt Saturday night.  Tim cleaned house while I mowed and he was in just as much pain.  However, we rewarded ourselves with one more test meal for July 4th dinner plans - this was it!  Such a great chicken dish - really incredible - we gave it 5 Tomatoes, if we had a rating scale?

Baked Brown Sugar Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

8 assorted drumsticks and thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup roasted red pepper, chopped
2 ounces goat cheese
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with foil.
2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, olive oil, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
3. Place the chicken onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes using metal tongs to turn at halftime.
4. To make the dipping sauce, combine the roasted red pepper, goat cheese, sour cream and salt in the bowl of a food processor until emulsified.
5. Serve chicken immediately with dipping sauce.
