Crispy Oven Baked BBQ Chicken
Made with an olive oil baste, the perfect seasonings, and a delicious barbecue sauce. Learn how to make oven bbq chicken in just a few quick simple steps!
Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 28 oz barbecue sauce (we use Sweet Baby Ray's)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place a cooling rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet.
- Add chicken thighs to the rack. Baste the chicken with olive oil.
- Rub the seasoning into the chicken.
- Place the chicken into the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the oven.
- Change the oven temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add barbecue sauce to a bowl and toss the chicken thighs.
- Add the chicken back to the cooling rack and place into the oven for another 15 minutes.
- Remove and serve.
Notes
- We love to make this with all of the seasonings, but it's just as good with just salt and pepper.
- Chicken thighs and drumsticks are the best as they will keep juices and flavors the most.
- If using boneless skinless chicken breasts, lower the temperature to 400 and bake for 25 minutes.
- Make sure the internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
