Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Chicken Thighs or Breasts (skin-on recommended) Skin-on thighs provide extra crispness. Breasts can be used for a leaner option.
  • 1 cup BBQ Sauce Use your favorite BBQ sauce, homemade or store-bought. Options include sweet, spicy, or smoky.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
  3. In a bowl, generously coat the chicken with your chosen BBQ sauce.
  4. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and arrange the chicken pieces skin-side up, leaving space between pieces.
Cooking
  1. Bake the chicken in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
  2. Once cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F), switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Serving
  1. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Tips include using parchment paper for easy cleanup and not skipping the drying step for crispy texture. This recipe can be adapted with different sauces or meats.
