How to Make Barbecued Chicken In Foil

  1. Tear off 4 large (18-inch) sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  2. Lightly grease one side of each foil sheet with cooking spray.
  3. Place 2 chicken legs and 1 ear of corn (cut in half if large) in the center of each greased foil sheet.
  4. Sprinkle each packet evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of melted butter evenly over each ear of corn.
  6. Spoon 2 tablespoons of your favorite barbecue sauce evenly over the chicken in each packet.
  7. Top each chicken with 1/2 cup of canned or cooked beans (such as kidney, pinto, or black beans).
  8. Bring together the two long sides of each foil sheet over the ingredients, and fold over twice to create a tight seal.
  9. Double fold each end of the foil packet, creating a completely sealed packet while leaving some room for steam circulation.
  10. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet.
  11. Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  12. Carefully open packets, allowing steam to escape away from your face to prevent burns.
  13. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as chopped green onions or a sprinkle of extra BBQ sauce.
