Clean and prep the chicken and either remove the skin or keep it on. Optionally marinade the chicken and/or Dry Rub the Chicken. Place thinned out BBQ Sauce or Thick BBQ Sauce in a bowl with a brush if using.
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Place the Chicken on a Broiler pan and cook until almost done. An internal temp of 175 F +.
BBQ Dry Rub
Cook for 45 minutes. Presentation side down, then flip halfway through cooking, presentation side up. Shut the oven heat off but leave the chicken in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes.
Glazed
Season with BBQ Seasoning or not. Cook the Chicken for 45 minutes. Presentation side down. Halfway through, flip the chicken presentation side up.
After 45 minutes, dip the Chicken into a thinned out BBQ Sauce of your choice and place back into the oven. Shut the heat off but leave the chicken in there for 15 - 20 minutes. Optionally, brush with the glaze again before serving.

Place the oven on broil and brush a thick BBQ Sauce on. Place into the oven to cook until a tacky skin if formed. At first this will take a bit, but as you brush on more it will go tacky much faster. Keep an eye on it.Repeat brushing on BBQ Sauce until a good Lacquer is formed. About 3 - 5 times. Let Chicken rest 15 - 20 minutes.You will want to add some water to the bottom of the Broiler pan to prevent burning the sauce that drips off and smoking up the kitchen.

Deep Fry Chicken as is, or dusted for 15–18 minutes at 350 F. Optionally bread with JFC Frickin Good Chicken and deep fry at 325 F for 18 minutes.
