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.

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.
