Oven BBQ Chicken (Red Chicken)

1 (3-3 1/2 lb) ready to cook frying chicken --(this is the best way, but you can use boneless/skinless chicken breasts and thighs too)
1/4 C all purpose flour
salt and pepper to season chicken
1/4 C cooking oil
3 T margarine or butter
1/2 C sliced mushrooms (optional)
1/2 C chopped green pepper
1 C sliced onions (my kids prefer chopped)
1 C ketchup
2/3 C water
2 T Worcestershire sauce
2 drops Tabasco
1 T brown sugar
1/4 tsp. salt for sauce
1/4 tsp. paprika

Wash chicken pieces and dry well. Season with salt , pepper and flour. Heat cooking oil in heavy skillet (I like to use an oven safe skillet *) add chicken and fry well until brown. Set aside browned chicken. Make sauce in same skillet (you can omit or reduce butter if you do it this way). Saute onion, green pepper and mushrooms until tender. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, add chicken back into the skillet and cook in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and tender.

*If you do not have an oven safe skillet or Dutch oven, make the sauce in a separate sauce pan and place chicken in a 2 qt casserole dish. Poor sauce over chicken and place 2 qt dish in oven at baking time.
