BARBECUED OVEN-BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS



Barbecued Oven-Baked Chicken Thighs image

This is easy and really good! This makes a great meal served with fries and coleslaw! If you are in a rush you can omit browning the chicken and increase the cooking time slightly, I find that the sauce will be thinner from the chicken juices if you do not brown the chicken first, browning also adds to the flavor of this dish --- if possible use only French's mustard for this, for some reason other brands of prepared mustard are just not as good. Adjust all ingredients to taste if you prefer a sweeter sauce add in more brown sugar.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken thighs: Look for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so make sure to use a marinade that you enjoy. The recipe in the article uses a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, but you can also use a store-bought marinade or create your own.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. If you don't have time to marinate the chicken for 30 minutes, you can marinate it for as little as 15 minutes, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Preheat your oven to the correct temperature: The oven temperature will vary depending on the recipe you are using. Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before you start cooking the chicken.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The best way to tell if the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken thigh. The chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Oven-barbecued chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the barbecue sauce gives it a slightly sweet and smoky flavor. Serve the chicken thighs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
