You're going to love this simple baked bbq chicken thighs recipe. Made on a single sheet pan, you get crispy skin, juicy meat, and all of your favorite barbecue flavors in every bite.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil or spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Set it aside.
Add your seasonings to a small bowl. Mix together to combine. Set aside.
Place your chicken thighs onto the prepared baking sheet and pat them dry with a clean paper towel. Then, brush the tops with olive oil.
Sprinkle the seasoning over the chicken thighs. Rub the seasoning around each piece really well so that they are all nicely coated.
Bake in the oven for 40 minutes. Or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
Remove the pan from the oven and brush barbecue sauce over the top of the chicken.
Return to the oven and broil on High for 2-3 minutes or until done. Keep an eye on them so that they don't burn.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving with your favorite side dishes.
