Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 cups BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking pan with foil or parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and place them in a large bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder. Rub the seasoning evenly over all sides of the chicken thighs.
Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs, skin-side up, on the prepared baking pan, ensuring they are not touching to allow even cooking.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy.
While the chicken is roasting, prepare the BBQ glaze by mixing the BBQ sauce and honey in a small bowl.
After the chicken has roasted for 35 minutes, remove it from the oven and brush a generous layer of the BBQ glaze over each piece.
Return the chicken to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize slightly.
Check the chicken for doneness by ensuring it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part. If it isn’t done, roast for an additional 5 minutes and check again.
Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the oven-roasted BBQ chicken with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
