Notes
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.
