Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe for juicy, tender chicken thighs with a smoky, tangy barbecue glaze, perfect for busy weeknights and minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 pounds / 700 g)
  • 3/4 cup barbecue sauce (about 180 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow it to reach temperature.
  2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together barbecue sauce, olive oil, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
  5. Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on the lined baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
  6. Pour the barbecue mixture evenly over the chicken, coating each piece well.
  7. Bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes until cooked through and caramelized. Optionally, broil for the last 2–3 minutes for extra crispness, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Optionally baste the chicken with pan juices halfway through baking to deepen flavors.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to lock in juices.
  10. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken dry for crispy skin. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Watch broiling step carefully to prevent burning. Use a silicone brush for even sauce spreading. For gluten-free, verify barbecue sauce ingredients. Leftovers reheat best in oven at 350°F to maintain crispness.
