Method
BBQ Grilled Chicken Baker
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours to marinate.
- 2
In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the coating ingredients: flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- 3
Remove chicken from the marinade, letting excess buttermilk drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour coating, pressing gently to adhere. Place coated pieces on a rack to set for about 10 minutes.
- 4
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet with a rack and lightly brush or spray with olive oil.

Bake the chicken for 40–50 minutes, turning once about halfway through, until the crust is golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- 7
Meanwhile, whisk together the BBQ sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl to make the glaze.
- 8
During the last 5–7 minutes of baking, brush the glaze onto the chicken, then continue baking until the glaze sets. For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.

Remove from the oven and let rest 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve.
