Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¾ cup BBQ sauce about 180 g, Note 1
- 1 ½ tablespoon Sriracha or another hot sauce, Notes 2, 3
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 230°C/ 450° F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and place a baking rack on top (Note 4).
- Season: Coat the thighs with the oil and rub them well with salt and pepper.8 chicken thighs +2 tablespoons olive oil + 1 ½ teaspoon fine sea salt + ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Bake: Place them on the rack skin-side up and bake them for 20 minutes until almost cooked through; the skin will be crispy and golden brown.
- BBQ glaze: In the meantime, mix BBQ sauce and Sriracha (hot sauce) in a small bowl. Brush the thighs on both sides, skin-side first, flip and brush generously underneath, flip again and brush them again on the skin side. Use tongs to flip and a pastry brush to glaze.¾ cup BBQ sauce / 180 g + 1 ½ tablespoon Sriracha
- Bake for another 10 minutes or until the glaze is shiny, slightly charred, and caramelized and the meat pieces are cooked through. Check doneness; the safe internal temperature for chicken is 74°C/165°F
- Optional broiling: If you think that the skin is not charred enough, place the tray under the broil for 2 or 3 minutes. Keep an eye on them so that they don’t get too dark.
Notes
- Sauce: Use your favorite BBQ sauce to ensure that the thighs taste the way you love them.
- Use Sriracha or hot sauce to taste, and consider the hotness of the BBQ sauce as well; some are hot, and some are not.
- Heat: ¾ cup of medium hot BBQ sauce and 1 ½ tablespoons Sriracha make for quite hot chicken thighs.
- Rack: The recipe works without the baking rack, too.
