Barbecued chicken is a family favorite, even when it’s too cold—or you don’t have time—to fire up the grill. This all-season recipe delivers on flavor with a sweet and spicy rub plus a tart tomatoey mop sauce. We brush on the barbecue sauce only during the last 15 minutes of baking to prevent the sweet glaze from burning. Line the pan with foil to make it easier to cleanup. If you're looking for a side to serve, coleslaw makes a perfect accompaniment.
