Oven Baked BBQ Chicken Thighs

Today's feature recipe uses Prairie Smoke & Spice's award winning sauces and all-purpose rub to bring the BBQ inside for a delicious oven-baked meal!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Prairie Smoke & Spice Blue Ribbin’ BBQ Sauce
• ½ cup Prairie Smoke & Spice All Purpose BBQ Rub
• 12 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• *Available from Well Seasoned

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Generously season both sides of the chicken thighs with the dry rub and place them skin-side down on a sheet pan and place in the oven. Roast for 25 minutes.
3. Remove from the oven, brush some sauce all over the thighs, turning them over to coat the bottom as well. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven, brush on more sauce, and increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
4. Continue roasting the chicken thighs until the sauce is starting to brown around the edges and the thighs are totally cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes more.
5. Remove from the oven and let sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. You might want to make a double batch….these never last long!
