How to Make Barbecued Chicken In Foil
- Tear off 4 large (18-inch) sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Lightly grease one side of each foil sheet with cooking spray.
- Place 2 chicken legs and 1 ear of corn (cut in half if large) in the center of each greased foil sheet.
- Sprinkle each packet evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of melted butter evenly over each ear of corn.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of your favorite barbecue sauce evenly over the chicken in each packet.
- Top each chicken with 1/2 cup of canned or cooked beans (such as kidney, pinto, or black beans).
- Bring together the two long sides of each foil sheet over the ingredients, and fold over twice to create a tight seal.
- Double fold each end of the foil packet, creating a completely sealed packet while leaving some room for steam circulation.
- Place the foil packets on a baking sheet.
- 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).
- Carefully open packets, allowing steam to escape away from your face to prevent burns.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as chopped green onions or a sprinkle of extra BBQ sauce.
