Step 1
Heat the oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2
Pat dry the chicken thighs and place either on a large plate or directly on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl mix together the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3
Sprinkle seasoning all over the chicken, making sure chicken is skin side up before roasting.

Step 4
Roast chicken for 25 minutes. Remove chicken from oven and brush Blackberry Barbecue Sauce all over the thighs. Flip chicken over so the thighs are skin side down this time. Continue to roast chicken for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 5
Remove chicken thighs from oven again. Brush on more Blackberry Barbecue Sauce all over the thighs and return to the oven one last time, skin-side up. Roast chicken for 10 more minutes, until skin has become sticky and dark in spots, or until a meat or instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh muscle reads an internal temperature of 165F.

Step 6
Brush on more Blackberry Barbecue Sauce before serving if desired. Let chicken rest at least 5 minutes before serving.
