Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

Arrange the chicken breasts, skin-side up, in the prepared dish, ensuring they aren't overcrowded. Drizzle each piece with Worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke, then generously sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. (10 minutes)

03

Step
1 hrs 15 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through, and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). This typically takes 1 to 1 1/2 hours. (60-90 minutes)

For an even deeper smoky flavor, marinate the chicken in the Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, and spices for at least 30 minutes before baking, or even overnight in the refrigerator.
To achieve crispy skin, remove the foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking and broil on low, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
Serve this oven-barbecued chicken with your favorite barbecue sides, such as coleslaw, baked beans, or corn on the cob.

    I accidentally overcooked the chicken a bit, but it was still moist and flavorful. The recipe is very forgiving.

    I was skeptical about using liquid smoke in the oven, but it really does give it that authentic barbecue taste.

    I added a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little extra heat, and it was delicious!
