- 3 tablespoons olive oil ($0.42)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning ($0.08)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder ($0.08)

- ½ teaspoon salt ($0.01)
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper ($0.02)

Instructions
- Prep oven and pan. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Mix seasoning. Combine the Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
- Prep chicken. Arrange the chicken thighs on the baking sheet and pat dry with paper towels. Brush the tops with olive oil.
- Season. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken and rub to coat evenly.
- Bake. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Sauce and broil. Remove from the oven and brush the barbecue sauce over the chicken. Return to the oven and broil on High for 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Rest and serve. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Cooking Tips. Thawed chicken yields the best texture. If cooking from partially frozen, add a few extra minutes and verify doneness with an instant read thermometer.
- Storage. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
- Reheating. Microwave 1 to 2 thighs for 1 ½ to 2 minutes. Oven reheat at 350°F for 5 to 10 minutes. Air fry at 360°F for 5 to 6 minutes.
