  • Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • Line a baking tray with foil or parchment.
  • Bake chicken for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Brush with BBQ sauce in the last 10 minutes for a sticky glaze.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

Serve your barbecue chicken with:

  • Grilled corn on the cob 🌽
  • Coleslaw or potato salad 🥗
  • Garlic bread or burger buns 🍞

🔁 Storage & Reheating

  • Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
