I recently modified my grilled dry/wet method to a baked method and it turned out even better when baked in the oven. I use thighs because they're cheap, and they taste much better than breasts IMO. Don't worry about the skin, most of the fat drains off and there's no other fat in the recipe. :) This stuff is really, really tasty.. Two thighs and a big mound of rice fills me up good. I don't usually measure when I cook, so all the measurements are guesses.
Here's the recipe:
Preheat to 350f
Thawed chicken thighs (with skin left on)
Dry Rub: (enough for two thighs) 1 tbsp paprika 1/2 tbsp kosher salt 1/2 tbsp chili powder 1 tsp cayenne pepper 1 tsp black pepper
Sweet BBQ sauce: (enough for two thighs) 3 tbsp Bullseye BBQ sauce (or whatever you have) 2 tbsp brown sugar 1 tbsp honey pinch black pepper pinch or two parsley dash red wine vinegar dash worcestershire sauce pinch or two of the dry rub mix
Rub the dry-rub mixture over the thighs. Put lots on! Place in cake pan lined w/parchment. Bake 20 minutes. Remove pan and brush on the BBQ sauce. Turn oven up to 400, bake 10 more minutes, brush on more BBQ, bake another 5 minutes. Done!
Serve with rice. I recommend using a rice steamer and buying a 25 pound bag of jasmine rice from the Asian market. It's cheap, delicious and easy. Plus the rice takes exactly the same time to cook as the chicken!
