Description

A delightful dish that combines juicy chicken with a rich, tangy barbecue sauce, perfect for family dinners and gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 kg (approximately 3-4 lbs) chicken pieces (legs, thighs, or breasts)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse the chicken pieces under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Place the seasoned chicken pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  4. Bake for about 30 minutes. Then, brush a generous amount of barbecue sauce over each piece.
  5. Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. If desired, switch the oven to broil for the last 3-5 minutes for extra crispiness.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, place the chicken in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure your BBQ sauce is gluten-free.
  • For a vegan option, substitute chicken with tofu or tempeh and use a plant-based BBQ sauce.
