Delicious Oven-Baked Cranberry Barbecue Chicken (Or Turkey Legs) image

This is SOOOO good! You can double the complete recipe and bake in a roaster pan, throw in a chopped green bell pepper and/or a jalapeno pepper also if desired! Four small turkey legs can be used in place of the chicken, if using larger turkey legs then double the cranberry sauce and BBQ sauce, also the cooking time will need to be increased.

OVEN BAKED BARBECUE CHICKEN LEGS

I LOVE BBQ chicken. Lately once a week I've been buying Tyson's BBQ Chicken Wings. They are so easy to prepare in the microwave and they fit into my diet of not too much sugar, amazing enough! When I was grocery shopping yesterday at Wal-mart I noticed they had a 4.5 pound chicken legs for $5.98. Hmm - that's less expensive than the $7.00+ I'm spending on Tyson's chicken wings. I have good BBQ sauce at home and I'd get more "cluck for my buck." This isn't a standard recipe. It's one I made up on my own and it just happened it turned out GREAT! It takes 2 hours to bake but it's so simpl

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 large package of chicken legs - skin on
1 large bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce
- salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Spray a large baking sheet with PAM and place the chicken legs on it in 2 rows. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Use whatever BBQ sauce you want and drizzle each leg with some of the sauce. Bake for 1 1/2 hours.
  • At 1 1/2 hours take the chicken out and turn each piece over, then drizzle more BBQ sauce on each piece (I actually COVERED the chicken in BBQ sauce). Put it back in the oven and continue baking for another 30 minutes.
