Barbecued chicken is a beloved American classic that finds its roots stretching back through centuries, evolving from ancient native cooking techniques to today’s backyard grills and ovens. My Baked Barbecue Chicken Thighs with Onions is a dish that honors this rich history while suiting the need for an unfussy meal that delivers on flavor. This recipe is perfect for those looking to impress at a casual dinner party or simply yearning to bring a taste of summer into their kitchen any time of the year.
A well-rounded dish will need a perfect partner on the plate. I suggest serving these aromatic BBQ chicken thighs alongside a creamy coleslaw or a refreshing cucumber salad. If you’re looking for something heartier, classic cornbread, or a baked potato makes an excellent companion. Don’t forget a helping of steamed green beans or roasted corn on the cob to truly embody the spirit of barbecue.
