Description
A delicious and sweet Roasted Peach BBQ Chicken Bake that combines juicy chicken thighs with fresh peaches and barbecue sauce for a delightful meal.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 2 cups fresh peaches, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and toss until they are well coated with the seasoning mixture.
- In a baking dish, arrange the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up.
- Scatter the sliced peaches around the chicken in the baking dish.
- Pour the barbecue sauce evenly over the chicken and peaches, ensuring everything is well coated.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the skin is crispy.
- For an extra caramelized finish, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
- Substitute chicken thighs with boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a lighter option, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
