When to Apply BBQ Sauce?

When do put barbecue sauce on the hens? Before they are put in the oven or after they have cooked?

Hi Wendy,
It’s always best to add the BBQ sauce at the end of the cooking process. Most BBQ sauces have a lot of sugar and tomato in them and those things can get cooked and browned before the inside of the food is done.
