Description
Juicy boneless chicken thighs smothered in a scrumptious sauce that hits all the right notes, these Baked Barbecue Boneless Chicken Thighs are ready to enjoy in about 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
- 5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (8–10 thighs)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients except for the chicken thighs.
- Reserve 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce to baste the chicken with as it bakes.
- Add the chicken thighs to the remaining sauce in the bowl, turning to coat each thigh well in the sauce.
- Arrange the coated chicken in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. If there is any residual sauce in the bowl, brush it on top of the thighs.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken thighs are cooked through, juices run clear, and a meat thermometerinserted into the middle of the largest thigh reads 165°F, basting with the reserved sauce after 15 minutes.
