Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 chicken thighs
  • 6 cups cornbread crumbled
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 375F and butter a baking dish.
  2. Toss crumbled cornbread with onion, broth, and melted butter, then spread in the dish.
  3. Set chicken thighs on top and season with smoked paprika.
  4. Brush the chicken generously with BBQ sauce.
  5. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, adding more sauce halfway, until the chicken reaches 175F.
  6. Rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Crumble the cornbread the night before so it dries out and holds up.
