Ingredients
  

  • 4 pounds chicken pieces legs, thighs, or breasts
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce your favorite brand
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for heat

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
  4. Arrange the marinated chicken pieces skin-side up on the wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  5. After 30 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and brush generously with barbecue sauce. Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin is crispy.
  6. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
