Steps:

BAKED BAR-BE-QUE CHICKEN
This is a simple yet wonderful dish that's full of flavor. The meat is very moist and falls off the bone. We love to serve this dish in our home with rice and fresh corn on the cob.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°.
- Place chicken legs and thighs onto a full half size baking pan and coat with the salt, pepper and seasoning blend. Pour in the bottle of the bbq sauce, maple syrup and catsup and blend together. And let it stand for 30 minutes.
- Place into the oven for 50 minutes. Remove and let the chicken rest for 15 minutes before serving. Before serve pour in the 1/4 cup Mrs. Butterworth maple syrup and top with minced green onions.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken legs: Look for chicken legs that are evenly sized and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid any legs that are bruised or have any signs of spoilage.
- Marinate the chicken legs: Marinating the chicken legs in a flavorful mixture of spices, herbs, and liquids will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but some popular options include a mixture of olive oil, garlic, paprika, and chili powder, or a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, and coriander.
- Cook the chicken legs at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. The ideal cooking temperature for chicken legs is 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Baste the chicken legs with the marinade or barbecue sauce: This will help to keep the chicken legs moist and prevent them from drying out. You can baste the chicken legs every 15-20 minutes during cooking.
- Cook the chicken legs until they are cooked through: The best way to tell if the chicken legs are cooked through is to use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
Oven-baked BBQ chicken legs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your chicken legs turn out perfectly cooked and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give oven-baked BBQ chicken legs a try!
