Baked bbq chicken. Sweet, sticky, succulent and delicious, this baked version of bbq chicken is slathered with lip-smacking barbecue sauce. An incredibly delicious way to make bbq chicken all year round!

The beautiful sunny summer is synonymous with barbecues and outdoor gatherings. And one of my favorite ways to add more flavor to deliciously grilled meal is with a little help from homemade barbecue sauce. Furthermore, I’m going to bake with barbecue sauce so you can enjoy baked bbq chicken all year round.

I have also added a touch of spice rub to the chicken before slathering it with the sticky barbecue sauce. Together, they make for the ultimate lip-smacking lunch or dinner.

To make this delicious baked chicken, start with preparing the spice rub. It’s a simple mixture made with garlic powder, ground cumin, paprika and seasoning. The idea is to bake chicken first with the spice rub and then bbq sauce.

Coat the chicken in the spice rub and bake for about 25 minutes, then slather with bbq sauce and bake again for another 25 minutes or until cooked through. You can brush with more bbq sauce if you like.
