Beer-b-cued Chicken

1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 3-pound chicken, cut up
1 (14-ounce) bottle barbecue sauce
1 cup beer

1. Preheat oven to 350*F (175*C). Melt 1/2 cup butter in 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Add chicken; turn to coat. Bake 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, melt remaining butter with barbecue sauce and beer in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Preheat broiler or prepare barbecue grill. Dip chicken in sauce. Arrange skin-side down on rack over broiler pan or on grill. Cook, turning and basting frequently with sauce until browned and juices run clear when chicken is pricked with a fork, about 10 to 20 minutes for broiler or about 30 minutes for barbecue.
4. Dip chicken in sauce again. Transfer to platter and serve. Pass any remaining sauce separately at table.
