MICROWAVE BARBECUED CHICKEN 
4 leg quarters
1 lg. onion
1/2 c. cooking oil
Barbecue sauce
Salt
Pepper

Remove skin and fat from chicken legs. Pour cooking oil into a microwave dish. Wet chicken in oil while placing them in dish. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste on top. Pour a thin coating of barbecue sauce over the chicken. Slice the onion and scatter over the whole dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place in the microwave oven. We set the microwave on high and cook as follows: Cook 3 minutes and turn 180 degrees; cook 3 minutes and turn 90 degrees; cook 3 minutes and turn 180 degrees and cook 3 minutes. Remove from oven and turn meat upside down and pour on another thin coating of sauce. Place in oven again. Cook 2 1/2 minutes and turn 180 degrees; cook 2 1/2 minutes and turn 90 degrees; cook 2 1/2 minutes and turn 180 degrees and cook 2 1/2 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to stop cooking and it is ready to eat.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.

I love this. I also make it with one can cream of mushroom soup mixed with 1/2 pkg. onion soup mix. just mix the mushroom and onion soup together with 1/4 cup water and poor over chicken. Cook as above. (I have a small oven, 700 watts, so I add one minute to cook times) YUMMY!!!
