Skillet BBQ Chicken makes a delicious, easy meal perfect for Sunday suppers or weeknight meals.
This Skillet BBQ Chicken is a flavorful dish that my family always loves. I love that it uses ingredients that I generally always keep on hand.
It is always a major hit with my family, even my picky little eater enjoyed it. I just didn’t serve as much of the BBQ sauce on his plate.
This skillet BBQ chicken would make a fantastic meal to serve when company visits. It’s one of those meals that you can start, do a few things to it, pop it in the oven, and then walk away from for a while and it just turns into the most magical meal. Tender chicken that just falls apart when you touch it with a fork and a BBQ sauce that has a hint of a kick at the end of it from the sriracha sauce, which we just lovingly call Rooster Sauce here. You just can’t go wrong with that tender, falling apart, spicy BBQ combination in my book.
I served it with old fashioned buttered potatoes and English peas as a throwback to my own childhood meals where eating my “circle green beans” was a serious bone of contention. Who am I to deprive my child of those memories? Or myself of stating all the reasons why you should eat English peas? It’s a part of life I definitely don’t want to skip.
Now, I urge you, grab some chicken thighs and rooster sauce at the grocery store this week and make this skillet BBQ chicken soon. It is crazy good.
Here’s my recipe.

We aren’t thigh people but everything else sounds so good. I would try with breast meat. Any changes I need to make if I do? Pinning!!
I made this today for Labor Day with white buttered potatoes (your recipe) and green beans. The chicken was delicious. This time I chose a smoky BBQ sauce; next time I think I’ll try with the peaches or a sweeter sauce to give it a different spin. I also only used 1/2 TBS of the chili sauce this time – next time I’ll use the whole TBS for a little more heat. Thanks for yet another great home-cooked and easy recipe!
