Baked Honey Barbecue Chicken
Description
The recipe for Baked Honey Barbecue Chicken starts with chicken thighs seasoned with a bottled dry rub, then coated in a mixture of bottled barbecue sauce, honey, and Wright’s Hickory liquid smoke. The baking process at 375°F (190°C) for 40 minutes allows the sauce to caramelize slightly on the surface of the chicken, creating a glossy, sticky coating. The liquid smoke adds a subtle smoky flavor without the need for grilling.
The texture combines the succulence of well-baked chicken with a slightly sticky glaze from the honey and barbecue sauce. This method ensures the chicken remains moist while delivering a complex flavor profile from the dry rub and the smoky-sweet sauce blend.
Serve this chicken as a main course alongside sides such as vegetables, rice, or salad. It is ideally served immediately after baking to preserve the glaze's texture and the chicken’s juiciness.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs (2kg) chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon dry rub bottled
- 4 tablespoons barbecue sauce bottled
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke Wright’s Hickory brand
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse and pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then transfer them to a large bowl. Add the dry rub, ensuring that both sides of the chicken thighs are evenly coated.
- Add the barbecue sauce, honey, and liquid smoke to the chicken, stirring to combine well. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven, reserving the drippings, and serve immediately.
