Directions:
Oven Barbequed Chicken
10 chicken legs or thighs*
1 tablespoon olive oil
2-3 tablespoons Chicken Scratch (recipe below)
3/4 cup barbeque sauce
Cooking spray
Place chicken legs or thighs in a large bowl. Add olive oil and Chicken Scratch to chicken and toss to coat. I think it’s best to do this with your hands so you can really make sure the chicken is thoroughly and evenly covered with the oil and seasoning.
Spray a 17x24 baking pan or two standard size baking sheets with cooking spray. Arrange chicken pieces evenly on pan(s). Cook at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Baste with barbeque sauce then return to oven and cook for an additional 15 minutes (total cooking time: 2 hours).
*You can use any bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces but dark meat works the best with this low-and-slow cooking method (there’s enough fat and skin to keep the chicken from drying out). Reduce cooking time if using chicken breasts; checking to see if they’re done after about an hour and a half.
Chicken Scratch
This is a seasoning mix I came up with years ago that I use each and every time I cook chicken. For more recipes using Chicken Scratch, click here.
3 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons paprika
3 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon white pepper
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper*
1 tablespoon onion powder
Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container. I keep mine in a large used spice container that still has its shaker top for easy use. Season chicken or other poultry LIBERALLY with mix (this is made with less than 25% salt so you can rock it out!)
