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.
