Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on recommended)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey
• 1 cup Ketchup
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and sear the other side for another 3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and carefully pour in the Jack Daniel's whiskey. Allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly and cook off the alcohol.

Step 5

Add the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and chili powder to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Baste the chicken with the BBQ sauce from the skillet halfway through baking for extra flavor and glaze.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Serve the chicken hot, drizzled with the remaining Jack Daniel's BBQ sauce. Pair with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread for a complete meal.
