May 25, 2007 — -- Paula Deen isn't the only one in the family who can cook. She and her sons, Bobby and Jamie, opened the hugely successful and popular The Lady and Sons restaurant in Savannah, Ga., in 1996, featuring their homestyle Southern cooking.

Below is the Deen brothers' BBQ Chicken recipe for a finger-lickin' Memorial Day.

The Deen Brothers' BBQ Chicken
Makes 3 to 4 servings

Tennessee barbecue usually means pork: pork shoulder, ribs, or the whole hog. But where we come from, it means a great sauce, like this one, and good old chicken, the mainstay of our family business.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375° F or prepare a grill (brush the grill grate lightly with oil).

2. In a large bowl, stir together all ingredients except the chicken. Reserve 1/3 cup of the barbecue sauce; set aside. Add the chicken to the remaining sauce in the bowl, turning to coat.

3. Arrange the coated chicken in a roasting pan or on the grill. Cook (covered, if grilling) for 40 to 45 minutes or until cooked through, basting with the reserved 1/3 cup sauce after 20 minutes.
