This BBQ chicken is a great way to get classic barbecue taste without using a grill or smoker. The chicken is just the right amount of crispy, while the inside is juicy and full of flavor!
Chicken is so versatile too. Seasonings and sauce combinations can be switched up to make new flavor varieties every time you make this recipe. I like to use a honey barbecue sauce, and then add a spicy seasoning to combine flavors.
