Oven Baked BBQ Chicken Breast Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 whole skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts
• 1 cup barbecue sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®)
• kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Gather all ingredients needed for this recipe.
2. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking pan with heavy-duty foil for easy cleanup.
3. Prepare the chicken breasts by removing the rib meat if desired; leave the skin on for extra flavor. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then place it in the prepared baking pan.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until juices begin to appear, approximately 10 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5. Remove the pan from the oven and generously pour half of the barbecue sauce over the chicken breasts. Continue baking for another 20 minutes. Repeat this step with the remaining barbecue sauce.
6. Continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the skin is crispy, about 15 to 20 minutes more. A meat thermometer inserted near the bone should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
7. Serve the BBQ chicken hot and enjoy your delicious homemade meal!
