Super Easy Barbecue Chicken Drumsticks & Thighs

Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 5
• 5 chicken drumsticks, with skin on
• 5 chicken thighs, with skin on (bone in)
• 2 cups barbecue sauce (you can eyeball it)

Recipe

• 1 part one.
• 2 in 1 or 2 oblong storage containers (depending on size of yours - i need 2) pour 1/2 - 1 cup of bbq sauce on bottom of each container and tilt container until bbq sauce evenly coats bottom.
• 3 part two.
• 4 put chicken inside dutch oven or other large pot with lid.
• 5 fill with water until water is about 2 inches higher than chicken.
• 6 bring to boil and cook for 15 - 20 minutes - no longer or chicken will be tough.
• 7 pour chicken & water into colander to drain water.
• 8 leaving chicken in colander turn on cool water and while holding chicken leg or thigh under water pull off skin & any fat (usually on thigh pieces).
• 9 place each piece into the container (for thighs place the piece meat side down - the side the bone isn't sticking out of).
• 10 pour rest of the bbq sauce evenly over the chicken making sure to cover all the meat.
• 11 cover container and put into fridge either for the rest of the day or overnight. because the chicken is hot it absorbs more of the bbq sauce flavoring.
• 12 tip - because the sauce hasn't been cooked i save the extra sauce in a freezer bag in the fridge till the next time & use it first to line the container bottom. it doesn't go bad.
• 13 part three.
• 14 preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• 15 place coated pieces on greased oblong pan.
• 16 bake for 40 minutes (tastes even better if done on a grill).
