Oven Baked BBQ Chicken Thighs

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

We make BBQ year-round over here. Doesn’t matter if it's summer sun or a rainy Tuesday—BBQ is always in rotation. These BBQ Oven Baked Chicken Thighs come through every single time. They are juicy, flavorful, and finished with that perfect caramelized BBQ crust—this recipe gives big cookout energy straight from the oven.

For this recipe, I start with a dry rub to add extra flavor to the chicken, then layer it with my favorite BBQ sauce. In my opinion, using both a dry seasoning and sauce is the key to great BBQ.

Make it for dinner tonight, then bring it back for meal prep, parties, or any night you want the taste of BBQ without stepping outside.

If you'd like to save this for later or share it with the world, I'd love it if you could 📌 Pin it on Pinterest.

My tip: Use a baking sheet with a rack to allow the air to circulate, helping the chicken cook evenly without becoming soggy on the bottom. —[affiliate link] Baking sheet and rack.

Happy Cooking,

Hi Reader, I've been making this meatloaf for years, and it's one of those recipes that just works. Simple, satisfying, and the kind of thing that makes dinner feel easy even on busy nights. 👉🏾 Here's my tried-and-true meatloaf recipe Now, here's the thing about meatloaf - it's all about the little details that make it extraordinary instead of just "meh": 🥩 The Meat Mix – I like using 85/15 ground beef as it has enough fat and flavor, but not too much to make the meatloaf greasy.

smothered chicken in a pan with spoon picking up chicken

Hi Reader, You know how sometimes you make something and it completely surprises someone? That happened to me with this smothered chicken recipe. My mom is Caribbean, so she gets her Southern food exposure through me. When I made this dish for her, she couldn't stop talking about the gravy and how tender the chicken was. Coming from someone who knows her way around bold flavors, that was high praise! Smothered Chicken Recipe This is comfort food at its absolute best. Chicken thighs coated in...
