Baked BBQ Chicken

Name: Baked BBQ Chicken
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 4 chicken thighs; 1 cup barbecue sauce; Salt to taste; Pepper to taste

Chicken thighs baked until tender and glazed with sticky barbecue sauce applied in stages so the sugars caramelize instead of burn - brushing on the full amount at the start is what causes most baked BBQ chicken to come out with a scorched, bitter glaze.

3.Brush with a thin, light layer of barbecue sauce and bake for 20 minutes.
4.Brush with more barbecue sauce and continue baking for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through and the glaze is sticky - saving the heaviest coat for the final stretch is what keeps the sugars from scorching.
