Preheat oven to 425℉.
Arrange chicken breast pieces, skin side up, on a foil lined baking sheet or in a large casserole dish.
Season each side of the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Place the chicken into the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until the skin begins to crisp.
Turn the oven temperature down to 375℉. Remove chicken from oven and brush on a layer of the barbecue sauce to the bottom and top sides. Return to the oven, skin side up.
Bake the chicken an additional 30-40 minutes, basting the top side with additional sauce every 10 minutes.
Chicken is done when the juices run clear and have an internal temperature of 165℉.
