Chinese Chicken

We recently had dinner at some friend's house and they served this chicken for dinner. We LOVED it! So, we had to get the recipe. Of course! Thank you, Audrey and Opal! (Changes in the recipe are from Audrey.)

Chinese Chicken

3 lbs. chicken parts (we use thighs)

Sauce:

¼ cup soy sauce (shoyu)

¾ cup ketchup

½ cup water

1 tsp. vinegar

½ cup brown sugar

1 onion diced (I do not add this)

Dash garlic powder and seasoned salt (I use regular salt)

Bring sauce ingredients to a boil.

Place chicken in baking dish. Pour sauce over the top.

Bake 350*F for 1- 1 1/2 hours. Spoon sauce over chicken several times during baking.

(I bake at 400*F on conventional oven for one hour, or 30 in the microwave on high until done.)

"Saying Grace" by Norman Rockwell

This painting was created for the cover of The Saturday Evening Post’s 1951 Thanksgiving issue. It portrays a woman and a young boy saying grace in a crowded restaurant while the people around them glance in their direction. Rockwell was inspired to create this artwork by a reader of the magazine who saw a Mennonite family praying in a restaurant.

In 1955, the readers of The Saturday Evening Post voted Saying Grace as their favorite ever cover. The painting was sold for $46 million in an auction at Sotheby’s in December 2013. At that time, it set the record for the most expensive American painting ever sold at auction. The $46 million paid for Saying Grace remains the highest known price paid for a Norman Rockwell artwork.
