Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup bbq sauce
Seasoning Blend
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Rub the seasoning blend all over the chicken thighs.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs on a baking sheet.
- Brush your favorite BBQ sauce generously over the chicken.
Cooking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, then serve with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
Notes
Pat the chicken dry before seasoning so the rub sticks well. Brush more BBQ sauce in the last 5 minutes of baking for a sticky top. Line the baking sheet with foil for easier clean up. For variations, try bone-in thighs (add 5-10 minutes to bake time), or add honey or brown sugar for extra sweetness.
