i have been making this recipe for years and it is one of my absolute favorites. the mixture of whole berry cranberry sauce and BBQ sauce is lovely. you can make it without the celery, but it is much lovelier with.

Mercy! This dish is a gift from the Gods!! I followed the instructions exactly except that I basted every 30 minutes. The meat fell off the bone.

Very good!I used only 3 chicken breasts and put them in a 8x8 dish so the sauce covered the chicken completely. I still baked it for 90 mins and it was SO TENDER and yummy. As another person mentioned, I also used spicy BBQ sauce. Delish!

Very good. The cranberries adds a nice mix of tartness and sweet savory flavory to the spicy barbeque. This was good and I will definitely make it again.

This was delicious!! I made it for a few friends, and it disappeared so quickly! The cranberries really made this BBQ chicken recipe something to remember, and it will be made over and over in my house!! I made just as the recipe dictated, just left out the celery.

The BEST and easiest chicken bake. My family almost got sick of having it, because I made it so many times after I found it. LOL It is now a lovely regular in our meal-plan.

This was good but nothing over the top. My kids did not care for it at all. I thought it was a nice change from regular bbq sauce. I used a cut up chicken that I skinned and it was a major pain. Would be so much easier and healthier to use skinless chicken breast. And all the pieces would cook to the same doneness at the same time. There seemed to be a lot of mixed reviews as to covering the chicken with foil or not. So, I started out with it uncovered and wish that I left it that way. The sauce was nice and thick and stayed on the chicken. But, I was worried about it drying out so I covered it about half way through. The condensation of the steam made the sauce too watery and also made it slide off, which some reviewers have complained about.

Save yourself some money and some work....use only the chicken and the bbq sauce and you'll have the same flavor as if you chopped up the veggies and added the cranberry. It's ok, but it's just barbecued chicken cooked in the oven.

I omitted the celery since I didn't have any and deglazed the pan with a little chicken broth after sauteeing the onions to get all the goodness from the bottom of the pan. Used regular "Bullseye" bbq sauce. Boyfriend told me THREE times how good it was! He is "Mr. Sauce" and absolutely couldn't get enough! I am definitely going to make this recipe with ribs next time!

Very good and easy. I made it with 5 chicken thighs with skin removed. Could have added one more piece as there was plenty of sauce.

I made this recipe with chicken thighs because that was all I had at the last minute. I didn't change anything else in the recipe and it turned out great! I rounded out the menu with garlic green beans and buttermilk mashed potatoes. My husband went on and on about how delicious it was. He even finished off the leftovers during lunch the next day - and this is a man who normally hates leftovers. He couldn't get enough! This is our new favorite BBQ Chicken recipe and I'll definitely be making it again. Thanks!

The whole family loved this one! I used 6 skinless, boneless breast halves and just salt and peppered them and put them in a 9x13. Then sauteed the onion, celery, 1/2 c. chopped green pepper and 2 cloves minced garlic until everything was softened. Added the cranberry sauce, bbq sauce (and a dash of tabasco). Baked uncovered for about an hour, basting twice. It was extremely yummy :).. I know I'll be making this one often.

Love this recipe! The only thing I did differently was left out the celery, and it was awesome. I didn't find it too sweet like some other reviewers did, it was just perfect. Goes great served with mashed potatoes.

I was all set to make this recipe when I realized that I didn't have any cranberry sauce so I substituted apricot preserves. I have to say it was pretty good. I can't wait to make this with the cranberry sauce. The bonus to this recipe is my house smelled sooo good!

This chicken was awesome!! I was afraid that my DH wouldn't like it as he is not a big cran-fan, but he loved it. I didn't bother with the sauteing bit, but just chopped an onion fairly small, pressed a couple of cloves of garlic, mixed everything up and poured it over the chicken. I used legs and boneless breasts and I was astonished at how juicy the breasts were! I lined my dish with non-stick foil so clean up was a snap. This is so easy to put together and it is definitely going in my "keeper" file. Thanks, DeidreDee!
