Ingredients
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/2 teaspoon pepper
6 chicken legs (thigh-drumstick piece) (about 3-1/2 pounds total)
Directions
1. For sauce, in a 1-1/2-quart saucepan cook onion and garlic in hot oil until tender. Stir in tomato sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, Dijon-style mustard, thyme, and pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Skin chicken, if desired. Arrange chicken in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Pour half of the sauce over chicken.
3. Bake, uncovered, in a 375 degree F oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until chicken is tender and cooked through, basting occasionally with additional sauce. Serve chicken with any remaining sauce. Makes 6 servings.
