Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 cups BBQ sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crisp skin, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Rub the chicken thighs with olive oil to evenly coat them.
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chicken, rubbing it in gently to coat all sides.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, skin side up, until the skin starts to crisp and the chicken is partially cooked.
Remove the chicken from the oven and brush each piece with a generous layer of BBQ sauce.
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Flip the chicken, brush the other side with more BBQ sauce, and bake for another 5 minutes until the sauce is caramelized and the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute. Serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
