Stir in 4 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.

Mix in 4 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce and 2 teaspoons of prepared mustard.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and 2 tablespoons of paprika.

In a separate bowl, season the chicken parts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Dip the seasoned chicken in the barbecue sauce mixture to coat it.

Place the coated chicken in a baking dish.

Pour the remaining barbecue sauce over the chicken in the baking dish.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, covered with aluminum foil.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach 165°F (74°C).

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
