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. 1

    Gather all ingredients.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    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. 4

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

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    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).

  7. 7

    Serve hot and enjoy!
