Delicious oven-baked BBQ chicken with crispy skin and juicy meat, coated in your favorite BBQ sauce.

Ingredients

  • Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks
  • BBQ sauce (your favorite)
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic powder
  • Paprika
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season the chicken generously with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Place the seasoned chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and the skin is golden brown.
  5. Remove the chicken from the oven and brush it generously with your favorite BBQ sauce.
  6. Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the sauce becomes sticky and caramelized.
  7. Optional: Broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes for a more caramelized finish.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Consider brining the chicken beforehand for extra juiciness. Always check the internal temperature to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety.
