Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in skin-on chicken breasts
  • 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the seasonings stick better and promotes crispier skin.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Brush the chicken with olive oil, then generously season all sides with the spice mixture.
  5. Place the chicken skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes.
  6. While the chicken is baking, combine the BBQ sauce with brown sugar in a small bowl.
  7. After 25 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and brush generously with the BBQ sauce mixture.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sauce has caramelized.
  9. For extra saucy chicken, brush with additional BBQ sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  10. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
