How to make Baked BBQ Chicken:

How long should I bake BBQ chicken:
This chicken takes a total of 40 minutes to bake. I used large 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 then 10 minutes to get your chicken to a safe temperature I would suggest brushing it with bbq sauce again then placing it back into the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes to cook.

if I am using chicken strips, how long should I cook?
OMG!! The most delicious and moist chicken EVER!!!
So happy to hear that!
Do you cover the chicken at any point, or cook uncovered the whole time.
I baked uncovered.
Just tried the BBQ chicken didn't use the Paprika though, only had 2 chicken breasts.
Was delicious and moist . Will have again.
Sp glad you liked it!
Unbelievably delicious! I asked my daughter what I should make for dinner and she said barbecue chicken. She found this delicious recipe and I must say it was out of this world! It was so juicy, tasty and tender. My family loved it. We will be making this again!
Is there suppose to be a lot of juices left? It makes the bbq not want to stay on chicken.
What if chicken breasts are still half frozen, how much time do I add?
Probably 7-10 minutes. I use a meat thermometer if I am ever questioning if something is undercooked.
If I am only using 2 average size chicken breast would I cut the time to cook down? I don’t want to dry out the chicken.
Yes, you might want to cut it down. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
Hello, what kind of oil can I use thanks?
I usually olive or vegetable.
