 Baked BBQ Chicken


Baked BBQ Chicken is a simple and delicious dish that’s perfect for any meal. Here’s an easy recipe to make flavorful baked BBQ chicken:


Ingredients:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite brand or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Optional: fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Chicken:

    • Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels.
    • Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and rub it in to coat evenly.
    • Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
  3. Sear the Chicken (Optional):

    • For extra flavor and crispy skin, you can sear the chicken in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned. This step is optional but recommended.
  4. Bake the Chicken:

    • Place the chicken pieces in a baking dish, skin-side up.
    • Brush a generous amount of BBQ sauce over each piece of chicken.
  5. Bake:

    • Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes for thighs or 35-40 minutes for breasts, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
    • Baste the chicken with additional BBQ sauce halfway through the baking time for extra flavor.
  6. Broil for Extra Crispiness:

    • If you want the BBQ sauce to caramelize and the skin to get extra crispy, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  7. Serve:

    • Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
    • Garnish with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme if desired.
    • Serve hot with your favorite sides.

Tips:

  • Marinade: For even more flavor, marinate the chicken in BBQ sauce for a few hours or overnight before baking.
  • Sides: Serve with coleslaw, cornbread, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Enjoy your delicious Baked BBQ Chicken!
