Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray liberally with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Pour the barbecue sauce into a medium mixing bowl and add the peach jam, cayenne powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined.

Add the chicken thighs to the barbecue sauce mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

Pour any remaining barbecue sauce mixture over the top of the chicken thighs.

Bake on middle rack of oven until the thickest part of the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, about 20 minutes.

Check to see that chicken is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Allow the chicken thighs to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Jam Glaze Magic 🍯
Brush the peach jam and BBQ sauce mixture in layers during the last 10 minutes of baking to create a caramelized, sticky coating without burning.
Cayenne Heat Control 🌶️
Adjust cayenne pepper quantity based on desired spice level - start with 1/4 teaspoon for mild heat and increase gradually for more intensity.
Even Chicken Cooking 🍗
Use chicken thighs of similar size and thickness to ensure uniform cooking, and consider pounding thicker pieces to create an even surface.
Non-Stick Spray Pro Tip 🥣
Hold the cooking spray 6-8 inches away from the baking dish and apply in a light, even mist to prevent pooling and ensure proper coverage.
Flavor Marinade Hack 🔪
For deeper flavor, marinate chicken thighs in a mixture of BBQ sauce and peach jam for 2-4 hours before cooking to enhance taste penetration.
