Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Arrange thighs skin-side up on a large sheet pan, spacing them evenly. Roast for 12 minutes until skin begins to crisp.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk together BBQ sauce, hot sauce, honey, paprika, and lime juice in a bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Remove pan from oven. Brush glaze all over each thigh, coating skin and sides generously.

  5. Step 5

    Return to oven and roast for 8–10 minutes until glaze is sticky and caramelized, thighs are cooked through.

  6. Step 6

    Let rest for 2 minutes. Serve hot with extra glaze spooned over the top.
