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."

My husband and I enjoyed this. I can see myself making it again. The only thing I did differently was use a large onion and I didn't chop it finely. I was in a hurry so I only simmered the sauce for 5 min. and I didn't have Buffalo Wing Sauce so I substituted a few shakes of Tabasco Sauce. I used a jarred garlic that comes already chopped and my hubby can't have sugar so I used brown sugar substitute, all natural Zero and could not tell the difference. The aroma was wonderful as it was baking. I served it with the weird but surprisingly good combination of steamed broccoli and buttered corn. Looking forward to leftovers! Thanks for this fantastic recipe! -
Delicious result and another wonderful way to enjoy flavorful chicken without a load of prep. Actually going to have again as leftovers today! -
What a wonderful recipe. We really enjoyed this quick and easy to make dish. The chicken was super delicious, tender and juicy, while the sauce was out of this world. Thanks for sharing this winner Lainey. Made for What's on the menu? tag game 2017. -
These were fantastic! When I first chose this recipes, I didn't notice how much mustard was in this and I was a little skeptical about whether I would like it or not (I'm not a yellow mustard fan) as two tablespoons seems like a lot, but it really isn't. I also was not able to find a suitable buffalo wing sauce due to my allergies so I used Frank's Red Hot sauce instead. DH couldn't stop raving about these. The flavors blend wonderfully. I think this recipe would also work well in the crock pot. Will definitely make these again! Thanks for posting this Lainey. Made for 1~2~3 Hits. -
