Make this quick and easy BBQ chicken breast in the oven for those times when you want a good meal but don't feel like fussing. Nuke a few potatoes for baked, steam some fresh broccoli or saute some green beans, and you got dinner in about an hour.
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.

2
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking pan with heavy-duty foil to make cleanup easier.

Prepare chicken breasts by cutting off the rib meat if you wish; leave the skin on. Season chicken with salt and pepper and put in the pan.

4
Bake in the preheated oven until juices start to appear, about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Remove the pan and generously pour 1/2 of the barbecue sauce over chicken. Continue to bake for 20 minutes. Repeat with remaining barbecue sauce.

Cook until no longer pink in the centers and skin is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

A fellow yogi has given up chocolate for Lent so I made these without cocoa powder. Even though something isn't legally chocolate unless it has cocoa butter in it, she'd have none of my good eats. I'll show her!
