- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Add all sauce ingredients to a bowl and stir until well combined.
- Spread oil on the bottom of a baking dish.
- If using breasts, slice chicken in half horizontally so you have 8 cutlets. (Or just use 8 skinless and boneless chicken thighs).
- Place the chicken in a single layer in baking dish. Sprinkle salt on top of each cutlet or thigh. Use a spatula, spoon, or brush to spread 1/2 of the barbecue sauce on top of chicken.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and flip the chicken over. Spread remaining sauce on top. Bake for another 15 minutes. (You may need a bit more time if using thighs instead of chicken cutlets.)
Notes
Nutrition information is for one chicken breast. If you slice your breasts horizontally that means two cutlets = 1 breast.
