Over the years this Oven Barbecue Chicken has come to be a family favourite. Every time I make it, there’s clean plates and happy campers. Tender chicken thighs cooked in a homemade barbecue sauce and serve with a cool sour cream with fresh chives. Great served with fluffy couscous, rice or even the Crispy Oven Fries.

Who says you can’t barbecue in January!  I know, I know….where we live there are really no excuses as there are pretty much mild temperatures year round.  But there is something about January that seems wrong when it comes to breaking out the barbecue.  So, this barbecue chicken was done in the oven to stay aligned with the calendar.

The marinade used in this oven baked chicken is the same marinade that I use in my Barbecue Chicken Kebabs and my Dry Rub Oven Barbecue Ribs. When baked in the oven you get more of a sauce with it that you can pour over rice or couscous.  That is how my kids like to have it when we do it this way.  As well, this recipe uses chicken thighs, but you can just as easily use chicken breast if you prefer.
