Baked BBQ Sauce Chicken Thighs

These chicken thighs are sooo delicious, full of flavour, and nice and juicy! All you need to do is marinate them for a minimum of 1 hr., to overnight (for more flavour to seep into the meat). After the marinating time, bake them in the oven. When they are just about done, we baste with one of my favourite condiments- BBQ Sauce. Here I’m using a ready made BBQ sauce from my favourite local condiments manufacturer, Mr Sauce.

Basting, put simply, is just brushing a sauce over meat while it grills/bakes/braais for the purpose of adding flavour, plus keeping the meat nice, and juicy as it cooks.

You can also check out this recipe where I used the same BBQ sauce. And by the way if you enjoy chicken thighs, check out these Recipes with Chicken Thighs.

You can serve these baked BBQ sauce thighs with some fries, and a salad or some roast potatoes, a sauce, and a salad. Now let’s get down to cooking.

• After 5 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven, flip it over, and brush the other side with the remaining BBQ sauce. Return it to the oven for another 5 minutes, and the chicken is done! Enjoy!
