Baked Barbequed Chicken

An oven-roasted BBQ chicken recipe for legs, thighs or leg quarters cooked low-and-slow in the oven that tastes like it came right off the grill.

📝 Ingredients

• 10 chicken legs or thighs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chicken Scratch (recipe below)
• 3/4 cup barbeque sauce
• 3 tablespoons salt
• 3 tablespoons paprika
• 3 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon white pepper
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon onion powder

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. 2Wash chicken pieces then blot dry with paper towels.
3. 3Place chicken in a large bowl then toss with olive oil until thoroughly coated. Add Chicken Scratch then mix well. I think it’s best to do this with your hands so you can really make sure the chicken is thoroughly and evenly covered with the oil and seasoning.
4. 4Line a large baking pan with aluminum foil (optional - just makes for easy clean-up). Spray pan with cooking spray then arrange chicken pieces evenly.
5. 5Cook at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Baste with barbeque sauce then return to oven and cook for an additional 15 minutes (total cooking time: 2 hours).
6. 6Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container.
