Preheat the oven to 425F degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a baking rack on top of the parchment paper. Make sure the baking rack fits inside of the baking sheet you are using.
Pat the thighs dry with paper towels.
Sprinkle 1 ½ Tablespoons of the BBQ rub all over one side of all the thighs, then turn them over and rub the rest over the other sides.
Place the thighs on the prepared baking sheet, top side down.
Bake for 10 minutes, flip the chicken over, and bake for another 10 minutes.
Brush BBQ sauce all over the chicken thighs and allow them to continue baking, top side up, for 7-10 more minutes or until a digital thermometer reads 165F degrees when inserted into the thickness part of the chicken (without touching the bone).
Optional: once cooked through, brush again with BBQ sauce and broil for 3-5 minutes or until the skin is crispy and BBQ sauce is starting to bubble. Serve with extra BBQ sauce, optional.
