The nice thing about this super easy oven-baked barbecued chicken recipe is that you can tailor it to your families’ tastes and make a small or large amount very easily. Prefer making your own bbq sauce or have a super secret family recipe for a barbecue rub? Feel free to use those instead! Note that this recipe does brown the chicken first. You don’t have to do this, but I much prefer a crispier rendered skin versus the tasteless flabby skin you sometimes get from just baking.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F with oven rack in middle position.
- Pour enough cooking oil to coat into bottom of your baking dish if it can be used on the stove or into frying pan if it can't and heat over medium high.
- While pan is warming up, season your chicken with dry ingredients. Your chicken will have more flavor if you take the time to season both the skin and under the skin.
- Lightly brown chicken on both sides.
- Place browned chicken on rack in baking dish. *Cleaning Tip:* Make your life easier by wrapping the baking dish in foil for easy clean up!
- Brush both sides of chicken with barbecue sauce. Again, if you brush under the skin, the chicken will be more flavorful.
- Cover with foil if you don't like the skin on the darker side.
- Exact baking time will depend on the cuts you use and your oven. For the 6 leg quarters, I baked uncovered for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. If you have a meat thermometer, you'll want to bake to an internal temperature of 165°F, remembering that the temperature will rise a couple degrees after you remove the chicken from the oven.
- Baste chicken every 30 minutes with more bbq sauce, removing foil about 30 minutes before it's done or broiling a few minutes, if you like your barbecue chicken to be sticky versus saucy.
- Tent with foil and allow to rest 5-10 minutes for juices to redistribute for yummily moist chicken.
- Serve and enjoy!
