Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 chicken pieces
  • 2 tbsp BBQ rub
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder

Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Basting brush
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels, then generously season each piece with BBQ rub, ensuring even coverage.
Sauce and Baking
  1. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, then stir in hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Place the seasoned chicken in the prepared baking dish and brush each piece generously with the sauce.
  3. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), basting every 15 minutes with the remaining sauce.
Finishing
  1. For crispy skin, broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes at the end of the cooking time, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  2. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce. This chicken pairs well with mashed potatoes or coleslaw.
