Ingredients

• 8 pieces Chicken thighs or drumsticks, skin-on and bone-in
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack with cooking spray or oil.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the ketchup, Dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to create the BBQ-ish sauce. Set aside.

Step 3

Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil, then season evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Brush a generous layer of the prepared BBQ-ish sauce over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.

Step 5

Place the chicken on the prepared wire rack, skin-side up. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 6

After 20 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and brush another layer of BBQ-ish sauce over the top. Return the chicken to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Optional: For extra caramelization, switch the oven to broil for the last 3-5 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Brush with any remaining BBQ-ish sauce for extra flavor, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, coleslaw, or mashed potatoes.
