Ingredients

• 8 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1.5 cups BBQ sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crisp skin, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Rub the chicken thighs with olive oil to evenly coat them.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chicken, rubbing it in gently to coat all sides.

Step 6

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, skin side up, until the skin starts to crisp and the chicken is partially cooked.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the oven and brush each piece with a generous layer of BBQ sauce.

Step 8

Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 9

Flip the chicken, brush the other side with more BBQ sauce, and bake for another 5 minutes until the sauce is caramelized and the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute. Serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
