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