The most perfect Baked BBQ Chicken. Full of flavor and cooked moist, tender, and delicious! Add this recipe to your dinner menu this week.

Chicken breast is made in our house several times a week. It’s easy to make and something my kids love. I mean who doesn’t love chicken!

I love coming up with new ways to make it and this Baked BBQ Chicken is a favorite of ours.

It’s a classic really but a simple way to dress up a chicken breast and make it something new.

This recipe is full of flavor and cooked to perfection. We have BBQ chicken at least once a week either this recipe or another family favorite my Baked BBQ Chicken Drumsticks. I actually have lots of BBQ Chicken recipes so make sure to check out the rest when you are done with this one. 

How to make Baked BBQ Chicken:

Baking chicken is a simple process that people all over the world do on a daily basis. Whether baking chicken in the oven or in the slow cooker, the final product really depends on how you marinate, sauce, spice, or season the chicken.

For this BBQ Chicken recipe, I like to marinate my chicken breasts in some oil and the seasonings ahead of time.

Then when preparing to bake we cover them in the BBQ sauce. Easy to make and it results in a super moist and juicy, and flavorful chicken breast.

Next, you just need to figure out what to serve with the chicken! My Best Side Dish Recipes to Serve with Chicken Roundup will be perfect for you to figure out a companion to this dinner.

Ingredient Notes:

• Chicken Breasts – I used large ones for this recipe.
• Oil – Olive oil is my go-to oil, but vegetable oil will work fine as well.
• Seasoning – I used paprika, garlic powder, and salt.
• BBQ Sauce – Use your favorite brand of BBQ sauce for this recipe!

Directions:

Step One – Preheat oven to 375° F. 

Step Two – Place chicken in a large baggy with oil and massage into chicken. Add in paprika, garlic powder, and salt.

Massage chicken again and dump everything into a casserole dish. 

Step Three – Bake for 30 minutes then remove chicken.

Step Four – Brush with BBQ sauce and then place back into the oven for 10-15 minutes or until cooked through and at a safe temperature. 

Step Five: Last allow your chicken to rest outside the oven about 5-10 minutes. Then it’s time to eat.

How long should I bake BBQ chicken:

This chicken takes a total of 40 minutes to bake. I used large raw, not frozen chicken breast. I baked it for 30 minutes then removed it to brush with my sauce.

Then baked it for an additional 10 minutes. Depending on the size of your chicken breast you could need more time.

If you need more than 10 minutes to get your chicken to a safe temperature, I suggest brushing it with BBQ sauce again then placing it back into the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes to cook.
