Over the weekend D and I found ourselves once again in Fort Collins. While at our requisite visit to Whole Foods, we picked up two organic whole chicken legs for a little barbecuing action. Since we were out of charcoal, I opted to cook the chicken legs in the oven with a generous helping of barbecue sauce leftover from my adventures in pulled pork a week or two ago. I served the bbq'd chicken legs over a bed of wild and basmati rice and also had some steamed broccoli florets (seasoned with salt and pepper, and covered with grated white cheddar cheese) on the side.
Oven-Baked Barbecue Chicken
makes 2 servings
2 organic whole chicken legs
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place the chicken legs in a glass baking dish.
3. Cover each leg liberally with the barbecue sauce. (Make sure to cover both sides of the leg.)
4. Bake in the oven for 60 minutes, or until the chicken is fork-tender. Baste with barbecue sauce (either with what's in the baking dish or with some fresh sauce) about half-way through the cooking time.
5. Let rest for a few minutes and then serve.
