Ingredients  

  • 24 chicken thighs ((Can use wings, breasts, or legs too.))
  • 1 large bottle BBQ sauce
  • garlic powder, salt, black pepper

Instructions: 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°.
  • Spread the thighs in a baking dish and sprinkle liberally with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. (If they aren't making their own juice, you can add a little water to the bottom of the pan.)
  • Remove from oven, flip the thighs upside-down, spread BBQ sauce over the thighs, then return to the oven for another 25 minutes.
  • After 25 minutes, remove from the oven again, flip the thighs rightside-up, spread BBQ sauce liberally over them, and return to the oven for another 30 minutes.

Notes:

Leftovers: This is a great meal for leftovers, because when you reheat the chicken, the barbecue sauce carmelizes.
