A tangy form-scratch sauce makes this tender chicken extra flavorful. My mom is an excellent cook who has fixed delicious dishes like this one for years. If you're in a hurry, just prepare it ahead and pop it in the oven when you get home.

1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 pounds), cut up
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

This chicken was just okay. The sauce wasn't all that flavorful in my opinion, and the chicken just tasted like chicken with little or no boost of taste from the sauce. I've got recipes for oven barbecued chicken that are a lot more flavorful. I

I made this chicken one night for supper. My family enjoyed it. I thought the sauce was great! It was fast to put together and turned out well.

I made this and no one in the family ate the chicken. If I were to ever make again I would leave the onion out of the recipe and I would not thicken the sauce. I think it would be better if the chicken could adsorb the sauce while marinading. The onion was so over powering it gave a liver and onion flavor.

I love this recipe and make it often. It's so easy and the chicken turns out very juicy and flavorful. Can't miss.

I made this recipe for dinner tonight and it was a hit! I had to double the recipe for the number of people present. The chicken was very moist and tender, and the sauce was not overpowering, just enough to add a nice flavor. The aroma as it baked was wonderful! This will be one of my "go to" recipes1
