Baked BBQ Chicken Legs

Sometimes I am in the mood for a good BBQ chicken leg, but then its too cold to BBQ or I am out of propane or something. This recipe has a nice smoky flavour that gives it a BBQ feel, but can be made in an oven. The seasoning mix is quick to put together and easy to make.

This could also be used on drumsticks or thighs, but the cooking time will need to be shortened as they are smaller pieces of meat.

If you don’t have liquid smoke, you can omit it, but it is delicious in dishes like this, or in meatballs, meat loaf and many other things and so it’s good to have in the pantry. Order some here if you would like.
