Ingredients
  

  • 4 pounds chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
  • ¾ cup bbq sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet with foil. Pat chicken dry with a paper towel and set aside.
  • In a small bowl mix all seasonings together. Coat chicken thighs in your dry rub and place on a baking rack. Bake for 40 minutes turning once about half way through.
  • Remove chicken from the oven and brush with BBQ sauce.

Notes

  • Tip: For a crispy skin place the chicken baked into the oven on broil for a few minutes. Keep an eye on them they should not need more than 2-3 minutes. 
  • Tip: I sometimes use a baking rack to keep chicken out of the dripping. This will help you get really crispy skin. 

Serving Options:

I love serving this chicken with a side salad, roasted vegetables, and loaded baked potato casserole.
