I actually have to give my father props for this recipe. Every time I would go visit my parents, or my parents would come visit me, he would tell me how he makes the perfect chicken wings. I thought I would give his recipe a try, only with chicken legs (they were what was on sale that week!). They turned out perfect! Crisp on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. Basically falling off the bone!
PLUS, this is so easy, it's almost a no-brainer!
The Recipe:
12-14 Chicken Legs (or wings)
14 cups water
1 large onion, sliced
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Your favorite BBQ sauce*
In a large stock pot, add water, bouillon, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and chicken legs. Boil for 40 minutes. In the mean time, get your grill nice and HOT. Once the legs are done boiling, transfer them to a plate and take them out to the grill. Grill for 20 minutes, flipping every 5. Skins should be crisp and just starting to blacken. Brush with BBQ sauce. Grill another 3-5 minutes. Flip and brush with BBQ sauce. Grill another 3 minutes and you're done! So easy, but SO amazing!
*Now... about the barbecue sauce. Please don't think I'm copping out of sharing delicious, HOMEMADE recipes with you by telling you to just go out and buy a bottle of barbecue sauce. I have contemplated making my own sauce for years now. The only problem is, I already found the perfect one and I can not deny it! Sweet Baby Rays Honey Barbecue sauce is so phenomenal, there is no reason to slave over the stove making your own. If you haven't tried it, try it. It's heaven in a bottle.
Enjoy!
Sweet Baby Ray's IS heaven in a bottle! Sounds good Emily!
