Baked BBQ Chicken with Sweet and Sticky Glaze

 

8 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs

¾ C. BBQ sauce, divided

 

Place the chicken in a bowl and pour ½ C. of the BBQ sauce over top. Mix to combine then set aside while your oven heats. Or leave it to marinate in the fridge for up to 4 hours. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. For easy cleanup, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the chicken on the baking sheet skin side down. (Reserve any extra BBQ sauce left in the bowl.) Bake the chicken for 25 minutes. Flip the chicken over and baste the top with the BBQ sauce that was in the marinating bowl. Return to the oven and bake for another 25 minutes. Turn your oven to broil. Baste the top of the chicken with the remaining ¼ C. of BBQ sauce and broil for 3-5 minutes until the top is dark and caramelized. Keep a close eye on it and remove the chicken sooner if it starts to get too dark.
