Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Garlic powder (optional)
- Onion powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Position a rack in the center.
- Pat chicken thighs very dry with paper towels.
- Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic and onion powder if using.
- Drizzle the oven-safe dish with olive oil and arrange the thighs skin-side up.
- Spoon or pour the barbecue sauce over each thigh, coating well.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Broil for 2 to 3 minutes for extra crispness, watching closely.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For reduced-sodium options, choose a lower-salt sauce. Boneless thighs work too but reduce baking time by about 10 minutes. For cleaning ease, line the dish with foil or parchment.
