This recipe offers a delightful twist on classic BBQ chicken, combining sweet and smoky flavors for a satisfying meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the chicken.
Season the chicken legs with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and cinnamon.
Ensure the spices are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Place the seasoned chicken in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture during cooking.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Check the chicken halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove the foil and brush the chicken with barbecue sauce.
For a thicker glaze, apply the sauce in layers, baking briefly between applications.
Return the chicken to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
This step allows the sauce to caramelize, enhancing the flavor.
Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Resting helps the juices redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
