Repeat the process every 3 minutes for another 25 to 30 minutes, or until sauce is gone and the chicken has an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Serve hot with pan vegetables and broth and rice if you like. Note: Other bone-in chicken can be used, try to keep it around 2lbs total for this recipe. Recipe adapted from Mark Bittman.
