Secret Recipe for Barbecued Chicken

Ingredients

4 chicken breast halves, about 2 pounds total

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

½ cup thin-scallions

1 cup ketchup

1 cup coke

½ teaspoon chili powder

½ teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Dust chicken lightly with flour, shaking off excess. In a 10-inch skillet, heat oil over high heat. Add chicken and brown about 3 minutes on each side. Place chicken skin-side-up in a shallow 2-quart baking dish; sprinkle with scallions. Mix remaining ingredients; spoon half over the chicken. Bake 20 minutes. Pour remaining sauce over chicken and bake 15 minutes longer, until chicken is tender and sauce is bubbling. Makes 4 servings
