Oven BBQ Chicken

Ingredients:

• 3 cups of your favorite BBQ sauce

• 1/2 cup peach preserves

• 1 clove garlic, grated

• Hot sauce, optional

• Olive oil for brushing

• 12 bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces

• 1 tsp. salt

• 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

Directions:

1. In a saucepan, combine the BBQ sauce, peach preserves, garlic, and hot sauce. Heat over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until nice and hot. Set aside.

2. Preheat oven to 400°F.

3. Drizzle olive oil on foil-lined baking sheets and place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the pans. Sprinkle the chicken evenly with the salt and pepper.

4. Roast for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven briefly, brush sauce all over the thighs, then use a spatula to flip them over to the other side, being careful not to tear the skin.

5. Brush the tops with more sauce and return to the oven for 8 minutes.

6. Remove from oven, brush on more sauce, and return to the oven for another 8 minutes.

7. Remove from oven, brush on sauce, and turn up the temperature to 425°F. Continue roasting for another 5 to 6 minutes, or until the sauce is starting to brown around the edges and the thighs are totally cooked through.

8. Remove from the oven and let sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.

9. Delicious!
