Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by whisking together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Coat the boneless skinless chicken thighs thoroughly with this flavorful marinade. For best results, let them marinate in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
  2. While the chicken is marinating, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Take a lined baking sheet and arrange the marinated chicken thighs on it. Brush both sides of the thighs generously with your favorite BBQ sauce.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, brushing the thighs with more BBQ sauce halfway through.
  5. Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
  6. Enjoy your delicious Oven-Baked BBQ Boneless Chicken Thighs with sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or a fresh garden salad.
