BBQed Chicken Legs for Super Ball Sunday

The other week, we were watching the football play-off to see which teams would meet in Minnesota for the Super Ball.  Our son announced that he wanted to eat BBQed chicken wings while watching the game. 

Hm!  Chicken wings?  I have always felt that there isn't much meat on the wings but a lot of bones; however, the guys went to this BBQ place and came home with two dozen wings.  Again. hm.  Son went home happy, even if the Jaguars lost by a few points.

For the Super Ball Sunday, my husband and I decided to BBQ chicken legs and to see if we couldn't make our own sauce as well.  Husband bought ten (10) chicken legs and I made the sauce.

To Do: Prepare the baking dish by adding a dab of oil to the bottom and lay out the chicken legs. Tear off foil to eventually cover cover the dish.

Preheat the oven 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

The ingredients added together are as follows: empty your spice cabinet!

2 tsp each of dry mustard, chili powder (to taste), paprika, and salt (sea salt)

1 tsp each of cumin and black pepper

Melt 4 tsp butter or margarine in a pot and stir in:

1/2 cup water

1/3 cup ketchup

1/3 cup white vinegar

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Add the spices (your own) to the pot and let it heat up to melt the margarine. Stir this mixture over the chicken in the prepared dish, cover with the foil, and put the dish in the oven for about one (1) hour. 

After 1/2  an hour, turn the chicken over if you would like.  I didn't and it turned out fine.  If you have a thermometer, it should read 156 degrees F when inserted in a thick part of the chicken leg.

The BBQed chicken legs should be served somewhat warm with a dipping sauce such as Ranch, if you prefer. 

Happy Cooking!
