Perfectly tender Oven BBQ Chicken Thighs, marinated and then glazed with barbecue sauce make a great weeknight meal.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 3 pounds boneless chicken thighs about 8 thighs
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cups homemade barbecue sauce ( or your favorite store bought sauce)
Instructions
- Place the chicken on a baking sheet and season it on each side with the garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Pour a cup of barbecue sauce in a bowl and then brush the chicken generously on each side with the sauce.
- Broil the chicken for 5-6 minutes on the first side and then remove from the oven and turn the pieces over. Broil another 5 minutes, just until the chicken is almost done. If your pieces are thicker, they will take a little longer.
- Turn the pieces again and coat well with the remaining 1 cup of barbecue sauce. Broil for another 2 minutes or so, until the meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear. The temp should be 175°F-185°F.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. Serving with additional BBQ sauce, if desired.
