Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe, as they will stay moist and juicy during baking.
  • Make sure the chicken is evenly coated in the BBQ sauce: Use a brush to spread the sauce over the chicken, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: If necessary, cook the chicken in batches so that it has enough room to brown and crisp.
  • Bake the chicken until it is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This oven-baked BBQ chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The chicken is moist and juicy, with a crispy, flavorful crust. The BBQ sauce is tangy and sweet, with a hint of smokiness. This chicken is perfect for serving with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables.
