Cheap Eats :: Barbecue Baked Chicken

Cheap Eats :: Barbecue Baked Chicken
Barbecue Baked Chicken is one of our staple dinners. It's very inexpensive and easy to make. I feel almost silly even blogging about it, but since I once needed to to a Google search on how to do it, I figured you might need the know-how too.

Barbecue Baked Chicken

Ingredients
  • 8-10 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or legs
  • about a half a bottle of BBQ Sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ Sauce, I love all the flavors of this brand...and it's cheap!)
  • kosher salt and pepper

Directions
Preheat oven to 400F
Rinse chicken and pat dry
Place chicken on foil lined baking sheet
Sprinkle each leg with salt and pepper
With a sauce brush, coat each piece with BBQ sauce

  1. I really love these "basic" recipes; I end up googling baked potatoes and chicken breast foil packets nine times out of ten, lol. I followed this recipe to the letter and our thighs turned out PERFECTLY, thanks! :)

    1. I know, I feel silly posting simple recipes...but I ask myself if I would google it, then I should post it.
      Even simple has a recipe, right? LOL.
      I am glad yours turned out great. It's a total staple meal around here.
