Ingredients:Non-stick spray oil
4 pounds chicken parts, skin removed
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste (optional)
1 can (16 ounces) yams in syrup, not drained
1 can (14.5 ounces) crushed tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
1/4 cup apple-cider vinegar
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
Preparation Time: Approximately 10 minutes
Cook Time: Approximately 50 minutes
Preparation:Preheat oven to 400°F.
Spray rimmed sheet pan with oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper, if desired, and arrange on pan with as much space between the pieces as possible. Spray with oil. Bake for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the Yummy Yammy BBQ sauce. Purée yams, tomatoes, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and mustard in a blender until smooth. Set aside about 1 1/4 cups of the sauce for dipping later; leaving about 2 1/2 cups of sauce for basting the chicken. Brush approximately 1 1/4 cups of the sauce over the chicken and bake for 20 more minutes. Then turn the chicken pieces and baste with about 1 1/4 cups of the sauce. Bake for 20 minutes more until chicken pieces are brown on the edges and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165° F.
To serve the original Yummy Yammy BBQ Chicken, dish up the remaining sauce for dipping.**
