Zubereitungszeit ca. 55 MinutenVorbereitung ca. 10 MinutenKochzeit ca. 45 Minuten

Zutaten:

8 bone-in, skin on chicken thighs ((about 2½ pounds))
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or sweet paprika)
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 cup thick BBQ sauce (we tested this recipe with Kinder's Original BBQ Sauce; see Note 1)

Arbeitsschritte:

Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the 8 bone-in, skin on chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Brush or rub the 1 tablespoon olive oil evenly over both sides of the chicken.
In a small bowl, combine the 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon onion powder, and ½ teaspoon chili powder. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken.
Arrange the chicken skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each thigh so they brown instead of steam.Bake for 30 minutes. The chicken should be nearly cooked through, the skin should be lightly browned, and the fat around the edges should be beginning to render.
Brush a generous layer of BBQ sauce over the tops and sides of each chicken thigh.Return the chicken to the oven and continue baking for 10–15 minutes, or until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 175–185 F (80-85 C) and the BBQ sauce is thick, glossy, and caramelized (see Note 2). For the most accurate reading, insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh without touching the bone.For extra caramelization, broil on high for 2–3 minutes, watching closely to prevent the sauce from burning.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving so the juices have time to redistribute. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
