  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you like.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy. This step helps render some of the fat from the skin and adds extra flavor.
  4. While the chicken is browning, pour the BBQ sauce into a small bowl.
  5. Transfer the browned chicken thighs to the prepared baking sheet, skin-side up. Brush each thigh generously with BBQ sauce, coating them evenly.
  6. Bake the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.
  7. Once cooked through, remove the chicken thighs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  8. Serve the Baked BBQ Chicken Thighs with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, coleslaw, or cornbread.
