These chicken legs are so good, thanks to being repeatedly brushed with BBQ sauce. I am aware that this is not true barbecue, but I’m from New England so it’s as close as I get. The legs develop a nice thick layer of sauce over the skin, or you can remove the skin and brush the sauce right onto the meat. I like to make some with and some without skin, so everyone has what they like. That way, you don’t miss out on the sauce if you prefer to eat the chicken without skin. In addition to being tasty and a perfect summertime food, legs are very affordable. Adjust the proportions accordingly for how ever many people you plan to serve. I plan on about 2-3 legs per person, but plan on more if you have big eaters.
- 10 chicken legs
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place chicken on a baking pan, lining it with parchment paper or foil if you wish. Bake for 20 minutes without any sauce, then bake for 25 more minutes, stopping every 5 minutes to brush on more BBQ sauce. Serve hot.
You probably don’t want to use your nice cloth napkins when you serve these chicken legs for supper.
