Instructions

Place chicken in a large plastic bag, drizzle with olive oil, seal it shut, and shake until the chicken is coated in oil (or use your hands).
Combine all of the spices (everything EXCEPT the bbq sauce) in a small bowl. Then, pour the spices over the chicken, seal the bag and shake until the chicken is coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes in the refrigerator, or up to 4 hours.
Next, heat the oven to 425° and place a wire rack on top of a large baking sheet. Place the chicken on top of the rack and bake it for 20 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°.
Remove the chicken, then brush the bbq sauce over top of each piece of chicken, making sure they're completely coated. Switch the oven to BROIL, place the chicken back into the oven and broil it for 3-5 minutes. Enjoy!
