Delicious Hunter's Chicken Recipe - Easy American Main Course

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on for best flavor)
  • 1 cup bbq sauce (your favorite variety)
  • 1 cup mushrooms (sliced, preferably cremini)
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

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

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until translucent.

    Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  3. Brown the Chicken

    Add chicken thighs to the skillet, browning on both sides for about 5 minutes each.

    Don't overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary.
  4. Add Mushrooms and Season

    Stir in the sliced mushrooms, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3 minutes.

    The mushrooms should begin to release their moisture.
  5. Combine with BBQ Sauce

    Pour the BBQ sauce over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring everything is well coated.

    Use a spatula to mix thoroughly.
  6. Bake the Dish

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

    Check the internal temperature; it should reach 165°F (75°C).
