Sticky BBQ Boneless Chicken Thighs

These juicy bbq boneless chicken thighs caramelize under sweet barbecue glaze inside a hot oven. Smoked paprika and garlic powder provide rich savory seasoning. They deliver finger-licking dinner satisfaction in thirty minutes.

Season skinless chicken thighs generously with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar. Sear thighs briefly in an oiled oven-safe skillet. Brush both sides liberally with your favorite barbecue sauce.

Bake until sauce bubbles into a sticky mahogany glaze. Serve warm with creamy coleslaw and corn muffins. For another delicious skillet poultry recipe, try this honey bbq chicken and rice.
