I admit that a Turkey dinner is what comes to mind when I plan my family Thanksgiving dinner. But are you like me and haven\u2019t even bought the turkey till now? We can make a delicious Thanksgiving spread with this barbecue chicken recipe from the House of Q, with a sauce that combines the qualities of a tomato and vinegar based barbecue sauce.<\/p>\n
In a clean bowl mix the seasoning together and sprinkle all over the chicken pieces. \nPreheat your indoor oven at 400 degrees. Smoke or roast the chicken for 30 minutes, and then brush with the BBQ sauce and bake in the oven for 10 more minutes, turning as needed.\u00a0 Let rest for 10 minutes before serving with traditional thanksgiving side dishes such as a bean casserole. Another good side dish is green salad \u2013 you can never go wrong with that one.<\/p>\n
Canadian Thanksgiving Fun Facts<\/h2>\n\n
Most of the US aspects of Thanksgiving (such as the turkey), came to Canada when United Empire Loyalists began to flee from the United States during the American Revolution and settled in Canada.<\/li>\n
Early settlers in Canada from New England and France in the early 17th Century started late autumn Thanksgiving celebrations. New immigrants into the country (such as the Irish, Scottish and Germans) added their own traditions to the harvest celebrations.<\/li>\n
Thanksgiving is a statutory holiday in all provinces in Canada except in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Businesses may remain open in these provinces, but the holiday is recognized and celebrated regardless of its status.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
