Simple and Tasty BBQ Chicken

This oven baked BBQ chicken features succulent chicken thighs or drumsticks coated in a rich, tangy BBQ sauce. The result is a dish that is both sweet and smoky, with a tantalizing glaze that caramelizes beautifully as it bakes.

Ingredients

4 chicken thighs or drumsticks
1 cup BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Coat with BBQ Sauce: Place the chicken in a baking dish and generously coat each piece with BBQ sauce, reserving some for later.
Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, brush with more BBQ sauce, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice caramelized glaze.
Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve with your favorite sides.
