  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon garlic powder Optional.

Preparation

  3. Scatter the sliced onion over and between the thighs.
  4. Whisk the barbecue sauce and cola in a bowl until smooth, then pour evenly over the chicken and onions.
  5. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake on the middle rack for 2 to 3 hours.
