Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with foil for easier cleanup.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
Arrange the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side up, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chicken for 20 minutes.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the BBQ glaze by mixing BBQ sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.
After 20 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and brush generously with the BBQ glaze on all sides.
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C).
Switch the oven to broil and broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the glaze, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
