BBQ Chicken Breasts in the Oven
BBQ Chicken Breasts in the Oven deliver juicy, bone-in chicken with crisped skin lacquered in sweet, smoky sauce. Baked hot, then finished with layers of barbecue glaze, the meat stays tender while the exterior caramelizes. Ideal for weeknights or casual gatherings when you want bold barbecue flavor without firing up the grill.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking pan with heavy-duty foil to make cleanup easier.

Prepare the chicken breasts by trimming off the rib meat if desired; leave the skin on. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place it in the pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until juices begin to show, about 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- 5
Remove the pan and generously pour 1/2 of the barbecue sauce over the chicken. Continue baking for 20 minutes. Repeat with the remaining barbecue sauce.

Cook until the centers are no longer pink and the skin is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
