Baked BBQ Chicken (2 Ingredients)
Description
Baked BBQ Chicken (2 Ingredients) centers on chicken thighs coated in BBQ sauce. The chicken is first patted dry, then tossed with BBQ sauce and allowed to marinate, which helps the flavors penetrate slightly before baking. Baking at a high temperature and flipping mid-cook develops a caramelized sauce layer. The resulting chicken is tender from the thighs’ natural juices, with a rich BBQ glaze.
The simplicity of the recipe makes it convenient for a busy day while still providing a satisfying meal option. The relatively long cook time ensures the chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
This recipe can be served as is or paired with sides like rice, vegetables, or salad, depending on preference. The limited number of ingredients and steps allow easy customization by using different BBQ sauces suited to your taste.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs chicken thighs
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Place it in a bowl, add the BBQ sauce, and toss to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Place the chicken in a baking pan, leaving a bit of room in between each piece.
- Bake at 425°F for 25 minutes. Flip it over and bake the chicken for another 25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Enjoy!
