While her native South Carolina is known for mustard-based barbecue, food writer Amethyst Ganaway especially loves sticky sweet and spicy chicken with a molasses and tomato sauce. And because she’s not always game for firing up the grill, she figured out a way to make her favorite chicken in the oven, with barbecue sauce just the way she likes it. It’s a meal with a lot less mess and work than the typical southern cookout, but all the flavor. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Amethyst Ganaway.
