Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, honey, low sodium Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper to make the BBQ sauce.

Step 6

After 20 minutes, remove the foil and baste the chicken again with more BBQ sauce.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the oven, uncovered, and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the BBQ chicken with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
