Delicious Oven-Barbecued Chicken Thighs

I love barbecue chicken and I love this way of baking it in the oven during the winter. I like to use chicken thighs, but you could use chicken breasts as well if you prefer those.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 2 -3  lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 3  tablespoons butter
• 1  medium sweet onion, finely chopped
• 1  tablespoon garlic powder or 1  tablespoon  fresh minced garlic
• 3⁄4 cup ketchup
• 1⁄2 cup water
• 1  tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1  teaspoon lemon juice
• 4  tablespoons brown sugar
• 1  tablespoon  buffalo wing sauce
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2  tablespoons prepared mustard

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat being careful not to burn.
3. Add the chicken and lightly brown.
4. Remove chicken and place in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
5. Add onion (if using fresh garlic in place of garlic powder, also add) to the skillet and saute lightly for about 2-3 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and mix well.
7. Pour the mixture into the skillet and stir to combine.
8. Simmer the sauce for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend nicely.
9. Pour sauce over the chicken, then flip pieces so that both sides of the chicken are coated with the sauce.
10. Bake the chicken uncovered for about 30-40 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear.
