Remove chicken from oven and dip both side of each piece of chicken in the bbq sauce mixture and bake an additional 45 mins skin side up.  Brush with bbq sauce every 15 mins. Turn the oven to broil the last 2-3 mins and make sure it does not burn.  Remove and let sit 5-7 mins.

Diva's Monkey Bread

Diva’s Memories of Recipes Title: Momma's Monkey Bread
Inspiration:  Mommies all over the world have been making Monkey Bread for their kids.  It always brought a smile to my kids face when they could smell the warm cinnamon baking on a Sunday morning.  Still does:)  Grandma use to make a version of this on the farm from her own biscuits and Grandad could take leftovers out into the field.  History shows it goes back to the 50's and nobody really knows why its called monkey bread.
Ingredients: 3 cans refrigerated biscuits 1 cup white sugar 2 T cinnamon 3/4 C margarine 1 C brown sugar cooking spray	Instructions:   In medium bowl add white sugar and cinnamon.  Cut each biscuit with scissors into quarters and add to cinnamon and sugar.  Stir after every can you add to coat biscuits.  Spray a bunt pan and add biscuits.   Melt margarine and brown sugar in a medium saucepan and boil 1 min.  Pour over the top of the biscuits and Bake 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees F. Let sit 5-10 mins before inverting it onto a plate.
Variation:  You can add fruit to this recipe very easily.  Raisins, apples, or even nuts.

Inspiration:  I have been canning my own goods for the past 30 years.  This jam is always a request for me to make.
Ingredients: 2 Qts, hulled & crushed Strawberries (10 cups whole) 2 TB lemon juice 6 cups sugar	Instructions: Put Strawberries in an 8qt stock pot.  Add lemon juice and sugar and bring to a slow boil; stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves.  Cook rapidly to the jell pint or until thick.
