Recipe type: Main
Serves: 4-6
INGREDIENTS
  • 3-3½ pounds chicken legs
  • 2 cups barbecue sauce
  • garlic powder
  • seasoned salt
  • salt and pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season all sides with garlic powder, seasoned salt, salt and pepper. Place chicken on a rack set inside a baking sheet or jelly roll pan and cover tightly with foil. Bake on lower oven rack for 45 minutes.
  2. Remove chicken from oven and discard foil. Brush all sides thoroughly with barbecue sauce and bake uncovered for another 30 minutes. Turn the temperature up to 450ºF and cook for 5 more minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Serve with creamy coleslaw, smashed potatoes, or baked steak fries.
NOTES
- I keep this recipe easy by using a good store-bought barbecue sauce, but feel free to use your favorite homemade recipe if you like.

- My family likes chicken legs, but you can use whatever cuts your family prefers. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
