Oven Barbecued Chicken

1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup diced onion
3 Tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar
2 Tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
8 chicken pieces (4 boneless skinless breast halves and 4 drumsticks)


Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine ketchup, onion, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard and Worcestershire sauce in small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until mixture begins to boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remvoe from heat.

Coat a 13- x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange chicken pieces in the prepared dish.

Brush prepared sauce over chicken. Bake chicken until it is no longer pink and an instant-read thermometer inserted in center of meat registers 180°F, 40-50 minutes.
