    Oven baked BBQ chicken is a delicious summer time chicken recipe that’s so easy to make. Chicken things and drumsticks marinated in a homemade BBQ sauce.

    Just throw all the ingredients in the blender, blend well, toss the chicken in the sauce, and bake until it has a beautiful red colour. Perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.

    I love to serve this baked BBQ chicken with easy one-pot pasta with veggies or mushroom pasta.

    How to make this baked barbecue chicken?

    How to make the BBQ sauce and chicken.

    Making the BBQ sauce:
    Add garlic, Ketchup, tomato puree, white vinegar, hot sauce, BBQ seasoning, mustard powder, olive oil, granulated sugar, salt, and onion in the blender and blend well until combined.

    Preparing the chicken:
    Wash the chicken then drain well using a kitchen towel. Place the chicken thighs and drumsticks in an ovenproof dish then coat well with the BBQ sauce. Bake the chicken on 200C for 35-40 minutes or until fully cooked. I like to broil the chicken for extra 2 minutes to get a lovely, nice colour.

    Top Tips:

    • In this recipe, you can use chicken thighs with the skin on; I just remove them to avoid the extra calories.
    • I like to make this recipe with both chicken thighs and drumsticks, but you can go with drumsticks only if you like.
    • You can make this BBQ chicken ahead of time and keep it in the fridge coated with the BBQ sauce ready for baking. Remember, marinating is the secret to moist and flavourful meat.
    • Also, you can make the BBQ sauce in advance, then freeze it for later.
    • This BBQ chicken is better to be made in the oven. If you use the grill the chicken sauce will burn.
