Ingredients
- 3 lbs Bone-in chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, or breasts)
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (sweet or smoked)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0 Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Lightly grease a large baking dish or line it with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and place them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken pieces and rub it in evenly. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.
Step 6
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Step 7
After 25 minutes, remove the dish from the oven and carefully discard the foil. Brush the chicken pieces generously with barbecue sauce on all sides.
Step 8
Return the chicken, uncovered, to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
Step 9
For a caramelized glaze, set your oven to broil for the last 3-5 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye to ensure the sauce doesn’t burn.
Step 10
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as coleslaw, roasted vegetables, or baked potatoes.
