Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or any neutral oil)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried mustard
- 1 cup BBQ sauce, plus more for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade in a large sealable container by adding chicken thighs, avocado oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and dried mustard. Toss until coated.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Coat the chicken thighs with 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce and transfer to the lined baking sheet, discarding excess sauce.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the thighs, brush with reserved BBQ sauce, and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Broil for 5-6 minutes, brushing with BBQ sauce again, until crispy and cooked through.
- Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side, if desired.
Notes
Allow the chicken to marinate for deeper flavor absorption. Monitor closely while broiling to avoid burning.
