The Best Oven-baked barbecue chicken

We all love good grilling recipes, especially grilled chicken, but we don't all have a grill, and sometimes we just don't want to stand outside, either (ya feel me?). Luckily, this oven-baked barbecue chicken is just as wonderful and doesn't dry out with that beautiful layer of sauce on top. It's the perfect dinner, no matter the weather!

The onions work double duty for this recipe. After roasting, they're extremely delicious, but they also add extra moisture to the pan and will keep the sauce from burning.
