How to Make Bbq Chicken Leg And Thighs
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Place chicken legs and thighs (about 2 lbs) in a large bowl.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup BBQ sauce, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 2 tbsp ketchup.
- Pour the BBQ mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (longer is better!).
