Ingredients
Scale
- 8 boneless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup Master Piece barbecue sauce

Instructions
- Prep the chicken: In a large bowl, combine boneless chicken thighs with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, stir together BBQ sauce, brown sugar, and honey until well combined.
- Bake the chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment. Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs in a single layer.
