Ingredients

• 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs

• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3/4 cup Patterson’s Mopping Sauce
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon pepper 

Directions

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees
• Place chicken thighs in large bowl and add salt, pepper and half of the olive oil
• Line a 11 x 13 baking pan with aluminum foil and put in the remainder of the olive oil
• Create a single layer of chicken thighs in the dish
• Add the onions and garlic
• Add Patterson’s Mopping Sauce and mix everything together, then create an even layer of ingredients in the dish
• Cook for 40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165° F and the top is slightly caramelized

Notes 

• Our family likes to marinate the chicken in buttermilk and hot sauce for two hours before cooking.
• We typically use chicken thighs, but this is also great with chicken breasts or whole, cut up chicken
• This chicken and BBQ “gravy” is great on top of grits, rice, or pretty much anything else.
• Use the leftover chicken for sheetpan nachos, tacos and pizza!
