SUPER EASY BARBECUE CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS & THIGHS



Super Easy Barbecue Chicken Drumsticks & Thighs image

This recipe was given to me by a friend and I love it because it is very quick and easy to make & the taste is FABULOUS. Use your favorite BBQ sauce. This is best if you can let the chicken marinate all day or even better overnight. Cooking time includes both parts.

Time 1h15m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

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

Steps:

  • PART ONE.
  • 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.
  • PART TWO.
  • Put chicken inside Dutch Oven or other large pot with lid.
  • Fill with water until water is about 2 inches higher than chicken.
  • Bring to boil and cook for 15 - 20 minutes - no longer or chicken will be tough.
  • Pour chicken & water into colander to drain water.
  • 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).
  • Place each piece into the container (for thighs place the piece meat side down - the side the bone isn't sticking out of).
  • Pour rest of the BBQ sauce evenly over the chicken making sure to cover all the meat.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • PART THREE.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place coated pieces on greased oblong pan.
  • Bake for 40 minutes (tastes even better if done on a grill).

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ½ cups brown sugar
½ cup barbeque sauce
½ cup ketchup
½ cup honey
¼ cup soy sauce
8 (5 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Steps:

  • Whisk together brown sugar, barbecue sauce, ketchup, honey, and soy sauce in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture and refrigerate for basting.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 chicken thighs
30 ml teriyaki sauce (2 tablespoons)
30 ml soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
45 ml ketchup (3 tablespoons)

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade to infuse the chicken with delicious flavors. You can use store-bought or homemade marinades.
  • Preheat your grill to the correct temperature before cooking the chicken. This will help ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
  • Cook the chicken over indirect heat to prevent flare-ups. This will also help the chicken cook more evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
