Tips:

Use a flavorful barbecue sauce: The sauce is what gives the chicken its flavor, so choose one that you enjoy. There are many different types of barbecue sauce available, so you can find one that suits your taste.
Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the barbecue sauce before cooking helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or as long as overnight.
Cook the chicken over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you are using a charcoal grill, place the coals on one side of the grill and the chicken on the other side. If you are using a gas grill, turn off the burners on one side of the grill and cook the chicken on the other side.
Use a meat thermometer: This is the best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the chicken rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Oven-barbecued chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your oven-barbecued chicken is juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.
