Ingredients

800 g chicken thighs or thighs
3 tbsp BBQ sauce
2 tbsp oil
1 teaspoon paprika powder
1 teaspoon BBQ rub or grill seasoning
Salt, pepper
optional: 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

Pat the chicken dry and marinate thoroughly with oil, BBQ sauce, paprika, rub, salt and pepper.
Let it steep for at least 30 minutes so that the seasoning gets into the meat.
Preheat the oven to 200 °C top/bottom heat and place the chicken in an oven dish or on a tray.
Depending on the size, bake for 35 to 45 minutes and after about 20 minutes, brush once with any juice or a little sauce that has escaped.
For more shine, brush lightly with BBQ sauce again in the last 5 minutes.
Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving to ensure the meat remains juicy.
Serve with coleslaw, baked potatoes or bread.
