Sticky BBQ Chicken Legs

Category: Main Dishes

Servings: Serves 5–6

Description: Messy in the best way, these sticky BBQ chicken legs are lacquered in a finger-licking glaze that’s smoky, sweet, and bold. They’re oven-baked for ease but taste like they just came off the grill. The honey-kissed sauce caramelizes as it bakes, forming a beautiful, sticky crust over the juicy meat. They’re great for parties, game day, or anytime you want bold barbecue flavor without firing up the smoker.

Ingredients:

• 10 chicken drumsticks
• 1 C BBQ sauce
• 2 T honey
• 1 T Worcestershire sauce
• 1 t garlic powder
• 1/2 t smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Mix BBQ sauce, honey, Worcestershire, garlic powder, and smoked paprika in a bowl.
3. Season chicken legs with salt and pepper and place in a baking dish.
4. Pour the sauce over the chicken and toss to coat.
5. Bake covered for 25 minutes, then uncover and bake 20 more minutes, basting once or twice.
6. Broil for 2–3 minutes until the glaze is thick and sticky.
