• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

For the seasoning:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, smoked paprika, mustard powder, and salt until evenly mixed. Reserve half of the seasoning.

For the chicken:

• Place the chicken thighs in a dutch oven. Rub the remaining brown sugar all over the chicken thighs.
• Arrange the chicken thighs in an even layer. Cover the dutch oven with the lid and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
• Remove from the oven and transfer the chicken thighs to a cutting board. Reserve 1/3 cup of the liquid in the pan from the chicken and discard the rest.
• Preheat oven to broil.
• Shred the chicken and add back into a pot with the liquid. Stir in the reserved seasoning mix and bbq sauce. Mix until well combined.
• Transfer the pot back into the oven. Broil for 3-5 minutes to get the chicken a little crispy on top.
