Sweet and Tangy Baked Chicken

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet and Tangy Baked Chicken.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab an 8x8-inch baking dish and give it a light spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

3. Step 3

   Next, gently arrange your chicken breasts in the dish, making sure they’re ready to soak up all the delicious flavors to come.

4. Step 4

   In a saucepan, combine diced onion, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ground mustard, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper.

5. Step 5

   Stir everything together until it’s well blended, creating a vibrant sauce that will elevate your chicken.

6. Step 6

   Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

7. Step 7

   Once it’s bubbling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

8. Step 8

   This will allow the sauce to thicken just enough to cling beautifully to the chicken.

9. Step 9

   Now, pour this luscious sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring they’re generously coated.

10. Step 10

    Cover the dish with aluminum foil to keep all that moisture in.

11. Step 11

    Pop it into your preheated oven and let it bake for 20 minutes.

12. Step 12

    After that, carefully remove the foil and let it bake for another 10 minutes.

13. Step 13

    You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, reaching an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
