BBQ Chicken

Preheat oven to 400° (or 375° for a whole chicken). Line a 9 x 13 with foil and place a wire rack on it.


Make the seasoning mix:

   - 1 tsp salt

   - 1 tsp garlic powder

   - 1 tsp paprika

   - 1/2 tsp pepper

   - pinch cayenne pepper


Pat dry paper towels:

   - 3-4 lbs chicken (whole, drumsticks, thighs, breasts, wings, etc.)


Rub chicken with:

   - 2 Tbs oil


Season chicken evenly with the seasoning mixture.


Bake until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°.

     Drumsticks/thighs - 35-45 minutes

     Breasts (boneless) - 20-25 minutes

     Wings - 30-40 minutes

     Whole chicken - 60-75 minutes


While the chicken is cooking, make the BBQ sauce.


Remove chicken from oven when it's almost done (about 160°) and brush generously with BBQ sauce on all sides. Return to oven and bake until chicken is fully cooked and sauce is carmelized and sticky.


Let rest for 5-10 minutes and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
