Oven-Baked 3-Ingredient Church Supper Chicken

This Church Supper Chicken is more than a recipe—it’s a cultural heirloom. For decades, it’s been the star of fellowship halls, funeral luncheons, and baby showers across America, baked in chipped Pyrex dishes with names like “Ethel” or “Marge” etched on the bottom.

With just three humble ingredients, it transforms into tender chicken bathed in a glossy, savory-sweet glaze that caramelizes at the edges—sticky, rich, and unforgettable. No one leaves without asking for the recipe… and no one ever takes leftovers home.

💡 Pro Tips (from the Fellowship Hall):
Use bone-in chicken—it stays juicier and adds depth to the sauce.
Don’t drain or rinse—the soup and BBQ sauce provide all the liquid needed.
Arrange chicken skin-side up for golden, slightly crisp edges.
