Baked BBQ Chicken Legs

Serves: 6 (12 drumsticks) | Prep Time: 10 mins

Cook Time: 2 hours 10 mins | Temp: 325°F / Broil

Fall-off-the-bone BBQ chicken without the grill! Our Grit & Grind Baked BBQ Chicken Legs are seasoned with our robust Grit & Grind BBQ Seasoning, smothered in BBQ sauce, and slow-baked tightly under foil until tender. Finished under the broiler for a sticky, caramelized glaze!

Ingredients:

• 12 chicken drumsticks (legs)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
• 2-3 tablespoons CMM Grit & Grind BBQ Seasoning
• 1 cup CMM Billionaire BBQ Sauce (or your favorite clean BBQ sauce)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to BROIL and arrange the 12 chicken drumsticks in a single layer inside a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2. Drizzle the drumsticks with olive oil and season heavily on all sides with the CMM Grit & Grind BBQ Seasoning.
3. Place the uncovered pan under the broiler for 3–5 minutes, watching closely, just until the chicken skin starts to take on a light golden color.
4. Remove the pan from the oven and turn the oven temperature down to 325°F.
5. Pour the CMM Billionaire BBQ Sauce evenly over all the drumsticks, turning them to coat.
6. Cover the 9x13 pan tightly with a double layer of aluminum foil to lock in the steam and juices.
7. Bake covered at 325°F for 2 hours until the meat is incredibly tender and pulling away from the bone.
8. Carefully remove the foil, turn the oven back to BROIL, and return the pan to the top rack for 3–5 minutes until the sauce bubbles, darkens, and caramelizes into the chicken skin. Rest for 5 minutes and serve hot!
