• Suggest serving with parve baked potato/sour cream recipe.

BARBECUE CHICKEN LEGS

Add a coat of barbecue sauce and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes and then repeat this process again. Serve chicken with the Tropical Hawaiian Salsa.

BBQ CHICKEN LEG AND THIGHS

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.

SLOW COOKER BBQ CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Mix ketchup, onion, brown sugar, garlic, vegetable oil, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
• Place chicken drumsticks in a slow cooker and drizzle sauce over top. Cook on High for 3 hours.
• When the 3 hours are almost up, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Transfer chicken and sauce to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Cook in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone, the juices run clear, and the skin is browned, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

GRILLED BBQ CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• Mix all brine/marinade ingredients in a large bowl and then separate into zip lock bags and add chicken.
• Chill and marinade for at least 4 hours or more (I usually brine mine for 12 hours).
• Grill chicken on a well oiled grill until browned on all sides, turning only once, about 15 to 20 mins each side. (A good indicator that legs are being cooked well in the inside is by observing blood seeping out from the top of the legs).
• Since all grills run at different temperatures, (if possible) make sure that grill is covered first and allowed to raise to 400 degrees before uncovering the grill, oiling the racks, and placing the legs onto the grill. This will help your grilling off to a great start.
• Depending on your environment, grill your chicken without the cover as the sudden increase in heat can turn your legs to charcoal.
• Towards the end of your grilling(5-10 mins) liberally spread a bbq of your choice (I like "Sweet Baby Ray's") on to one side of the chicken. Then (if possible) place chicken legs on a top rack for indirect heat with the bbq side of the leg down and the none bbq'd side up.
• Spread the other side with bbq now and let the bbq really caramelize onto the legs for 5-10mins on indirect heat.(if you dont have a top rack, just reduce this time to 3 to 5mins).
• Now take the legs off the grill and Wah-Lah! You've just made some amazing BBQ'd legs. Bon Appetite!
• *All grills have hot spots so be mindful of these spots and switch your chicken around the grill as not to completely char them.

BAKED BBQ CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Mix olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne together in a large bowl. Add drumsticks and toss to coat. Spread out on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with barbeque sauce. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes. Flip drumsticks, brush with barbeque sauce, and bake an additional 7 to 8 minutes.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on the oven's broiler.
• Brush drumsticks with more barbeque sauce and broil for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip drumsticks, brush with barbeque sauce, and broil until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 3 to 4 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

BARBECUED CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, brown chicken in oil. Transfer to an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, vinegar, steak sauce and hot pepper sauce; pour over chicken., Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 55-60 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°-175°, basting every 15 minutes with sauce.
