Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking pan with heavy-duty foil to make cleanup easier.
Step 2
Gather all ingredients.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until juices start to appear, about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 4
Remove the pan and generously pour 1/2 of the barbecue sauce over chicken. Continue to bake for 20 minutes. Repeat with remaining barbecue sauce.
Step 5
Serve hot and enjoy!
Step 6
Prepare chicken breasts by cutting off the rib meat if you wish; leave the skin on. Season chicken with salt and pepper and put in the pan.
Step 7
Cook until no longer pink in the centers and skin is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Ingredients
4 whole skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts
kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste
