Ingredients for Bbq Chicken Legs With Sauteed Veggies

  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

How to Make Bbq Chicken Legs With Sauteed Veggies

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup ketchup and 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce.
  3. Season 4 chicken legs generously with salt and pepper. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes.
  5. Brush chicken legs with the ketchup-hoisin sauce. Bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
  6. Meanwhile, cook 4 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until crispy. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels.
  7. Add 1 cup chopped carrots to the bacon fat in the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
  8. Add 1 cup sugar snap peas and 1 cup asparagus spears. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  9. Remove the skillet from the heat. Crumble the cooked bacon over the vegetables.
  10. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint.
  11. Serve the sauteed vegetables alongside the BBQ chicken legs.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
