Oven Baked BBQ Chicken Thighs Recipe

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
Spray an 8 x 8 baking dish with non-stick spray.
Place the chicken thighs into the baking dish, skin side up, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
Then reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F. and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove the aluminum foil and bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
Right after the chicken is uncovered, in a saucepan over medium heat, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, cider vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, mustard powder, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Simmer the sauce for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Switch the oven from bake to broil.
Either drain the chicken broth from the baking dish or move the chicken pieces to a broiler pan and flip the chicken pieces over so the bottom side is up.
Brush the bottoms with some barbecue sauce and broil about 3 – 5 minutes until the sauce is bubbly.
Flip the chicken thighs back over so the skin side is up and brush with more barbecue sauce.
Broil for another 3 – 5 minutes until barbecue sauce is browned and bubbly.
