Baked BBQ Chicken Thighs Burger! Juicy, tender, and flavorful homemade barbecue chicken burgers that are so easy to make!

Baked BBQ Chicken Sandwich

What is the secret to these delicious chicken burgers? Chicken thighs! It is naturally moist, tender, and flavorful. I personally think it's the best part of the chicken for barbecue.

Homemade Baked Barbecue Chicken Thighs

 Easy, no fuss, less mess chicken burgers

  • Buy boneless chicken thighs. It is more convenient than having to debone the chicken yourself. Remove the excess fat around the meat but leave the chicken skin intact. If you are not into chicken skin (but I am!) strip it off after baking and before adding in the cheese slices. Retaining the skin keeps the meat moist and succulent.
  • Make the homemade barbecue sauce in the pan where you're going to bake the chicken. Using a tong or your hands, massage the chicken with the sauce in the same baking pan. Yep! this recipe also shows you how to have fewer dishes to wash.
  • Bake it right away. There's no need to marinate! Easy! No oil splatters to clean after!

Homemade Barbecue Marinade

With just a few simple ingredients, you can make your own homemade barbecue marinade:

  • garlic powder
  • smoked paprika
  • ketchup
  • siracha or any hot sauce
  • vinegar
  • sugar

Combine everything in a bowl. Mix and pour over the chicken! It's that simple!

Homemade Barbecue Sauce

I recommend using mayo cucumber dressing to go with this burger. It has a fresh and subtle flavor that brings balance to that bold barbecue taste. Follow the link to find out how to make it!

Finally, the toppings. My top picks are onion, lettuce, and cheddar cheese. Feel free to put your own.

Recipe Notes and Tips:

  • Buy boneless chicken thighs. It is more convenient than having to debone the chicken yourself. Remove the excess fat around the meat but leave the chicken skin intact. If you are not into chicken skin, strip it off after baking and before adding in the cheese slices. Retaining the skin keeps the meat moist and succulent.
  • For fewer dishes to wash, make the homemade barbecue sauce in the pan where you're going to bake the chicken. Using a tong or your hands, massage the chicken with the sauce in the same baking pan.
  • If you don't like the heat, skip the siracha or hot sauce and just add more ketchup.
