Chicken Old Ladies on a Bus

Thanks to John, my american cousin who sent me this recipe.. we havent met but he's my international audience as he reads my blog (isnt the internet wonderful!) He met my Dad in 1957. I had to pop it up here as it sounds perfect kiddie fare, and John, I'll put it in our Hopkirk Flatting Family Cookbook that my niece Alex and I are working on for our up and coming flatters!

Some day you might want to try this recipe...the story goes this woman was riding a bus and heard these two old ladies in front of her talking about a way to make chicken, thus the name of the dish is:

CHICKEN OLD LADIES ON A BUS

1/3 Cup Orange Marmalade
1/3 Cup Hot Barbecue Sauce
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
2 pounds chicken parts
Salt & pepper, to taste


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine marmalade and barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice, mixing well. Place chicken, skin-side up in a 9/13 pan lined with aluminum foil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over chicken and bake 1 hour, basting occasionally. Increase heat to 400 degrees and bake 15 minutes longer.

This can then be served on a bed of rice, or however you may want to do it, along with some veggies.
Do your ovens use fahrenheit temperatures? If not, you will have to adjust.
