Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish

    Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.

    This prevents the chicken from sticking.

    Season the chicken thighs with salt if desired.

    You can marinate them for extra flavor.
  4. Add Barbecue Sauce

    Place the chicken in the baking dish and cover with barbecue sauce.

    Make sure each piece is well coated.
  5. Bake the Chicken

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

    Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
