Little G is an all-American kid.

He loves classic American food.

Easy and quick oven-baked chicken thighs marinated with smoky honey barbecue sauce.

One of his favorite American food is barbecue…smokey ribs, chicken, pulled pork, etc.

His favorite barbecue joint is Phil’s BBQ in San Diego, where he would finish up everything on his plate, which is unusual.

Even though summer is over, I wanted to make sure that he continues to enjoy his favorite barbecue, so I decided to bake these honey barbecue chicken thighs for him.

This is one of the easiest recipes ever, but the end result is amazing.

Imagine juicy, moist, perfectly baked chicken thighs with a tint of heat and smokiness, in honey barbecue goodness, so good!

Make sure you save the dripping from the chicken and serve with it.

The dripping is absolutely delicious and goes well with rice.

Little G gave me two thumbs up for these chicken thighs. Try my recipe today, it takes only 10 minutes active time.

Enjoy!

    • Hi Ken, I don’t get it. How is this recipe about promoting brands? What brands am I promoting here? Did you read my write-up? It’s a recipe that I made for my son, it’s that simple, and yes, he loves Phil’s BBQ in San Diego, which is a fact, and not an advertisement. If you are talking about Wright’s Hickory Liquid Smoke in the ingredients, that’s what I used. Many people do not know what liquid smoke is so I put down the brand for the ease of shopping for my readers. Neither Phil’s or Wright’s paid me any money. If this is a sponsored post for brands, I would put a disclaimer in my write-up.

    • Do not be a smart ass, we are here to learn how to cook so it is very clear that all Brand’s are mentioned, to prevent another smart ass like you by asking what is the brand that you used!

  3. I, on the other hand, WANT to know just what you use ! Like what rub ? There are many to choose from at the store, and I don’t like to gamble or guess. Also, what BBQ sauce do you like ?? All this insight is helpful, especially to someone who is new in the kitchen or unfamiliar with BBQ cooking, for example. So ‘Brand’ away Rasa !! I am all in !!

  7. Bee,
    Excellent answer to Ken. I make my own rub and BBQ sauce, my partner doesn’t like smoke or hickory taste, but I added the honey to my mix — delicious! Thanks for another great recipe!

    • Hi Barbara, thanks for your comment. I specialize in easy delicious recipes – anything that is short and easy for busy moms and cooks. I would love to know how to make my own BBQ sauce and dry rub. Please share with the readers here. Thanks Barbara. :)

  8. Ken, Ken, Ken, Many years ago (I am 75), I was taught: ‘you never raise yourself up by putting someone else down’. I, along with many others, appreciate helpful ‘hints’ to a recipe. Take them or leave them. The original recipe is just that…..the original recipe. Some recipes are used exactly as written. Others might need a little ‘hint’ from a reader, suggesting an addition or deletion. I am all for that. I wish you would send in an original recipe of yours and be happy to know there were no changes. At least I know readers were thoughtful enough to take time to comment on my recipe. In your future, try not to suggest brand naming unless it is blatantly just that…..brand naming! Have a great day making a lot of your original recipes. Bee, ‘I’d walk a mile in your shoes’ anytime.

  10. If I get started on Ken (which I won’t as you and others have done that for me), there wouldn’t be enough space :). I’m not big on thighs so how would I adapt it to chicken breast? Thanks. I always look forward to your post and your Mother’s as well.

  11. Would you please let me know what barbecue sauce you used? There are so many flavors of barbecue sauce. Different brands can change the taste of the recipe. I would like to get a brand similar to what you used. I do not think that most of us feel the same as Ken! I like to know the brand because sometimes a different flavored item can ruin a recipe. It is our choice as to whether we you the same brand you used or not!! By the way THANK YOU for posting your wonderful recipes.
