step by step
Method
- Step 1
Prepare the chicken
- Take the chicken thighs out of the fridge at least 20 minutes before cooking so they are not ice cold.
- Pat them dry with paper towel.
- Step 2
Season the thighs
- Drizzle with olive oil and rub all over the skin, under the skin and on both sides.
- Season with salt and pepper on top and underneath the skin.
- Sprinkle with granulated garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika and cayenne pepper, coating the skin and the underside.
- Step 3
Bake uncovered
- Arrange the thighs on a baking tray and bake uncovered until fully cooked through.
- Step 4
Brush with barbecue sauce and finish
- Brush the cooked thighs with barbecue sauce.
- Return to the oven for a few more minutes, watching closely as barbecue sauce burns quickly.
- Step 5
Add a final glaze and serve
- Brush a little more barbecue sauce over the thighs for a sticky finish.
- Serve with pasta salad and Brussels sprouts.
