45 minutes
BBQ chicken legs are a fragrant and juicy dish infused with rich spices and a tangy sauce. Its roots trace back to European culinary traditions where meat is cooked in the oven to retain its tenderness. The BBQ sauce with onions, tomatoes, and spices adds a rich flavor with a hint of acidity and smoky notes. The chicken turns golden brown with a crispy skin while remaining juicy inside. It's an ideal choice for a cozy dinner or festive gathering. Serve with a side of fresh vegetables or potatoes to highlight the richness of flavors. BBQ legs combine simplicity in preparation with restaurant elegance, making them a favorite dish for any occasion.
