Equipment
Ingredients
4 chicken leg quarters
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
For the BBQ Glaze:
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Brush both sides of the chicken with olive oil and then rub the spice mix into the chicken evenly.
- This step is optional but if you like crispy skin, sear the chicken 3-4 minutes per side on a grill pan or grill.
- Transfer the chicken, skin side down, onto the baking sheet.
- Whisk together the glaze ingredients: barbecue sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, chili powder and garlic powder. Brush 1/3 the glaze onto the chicken.
- Bake the chicken for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and flip the chicken over.
- Generously coat the tops of the chicken with 1/3 of the glaze and place back in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Turn the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Remove the chicken and brush the remaining glaze onto the chicken. Place back in the oven for 10 more minutes or until the chicken has reached 165°F.
- Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes and enjoy with a spritz of lemon juice and your favorite sides.
