Easy BBQ Chicken Legs

Okay, okay. It’s all my fault for posting a super enticing picture on Facebook and Instagram of the dinner I made our LifeGroup last night….and then not telling you how to do it. How….rude.

So here it is. My redemption post including recipe. Once you see how easy this was you’ll forgive me for making you wait a day. Won’t you??

I used chicken drumsticks mostly because I am biased to them. The husband felt the same…so all drumsticks for us. You could do the same with wings, breast, legs or all of the above. It’s a great meal to make for a large group!

For low-sugar barbecue sauce I always look for whatever I can get with the lowest amount of sugar. Bonus on this meal- you don’t need any extra sauce, so you’ll only get what you’ve basted on the chicken. This recipe I used an Aldi Brand, which is great for price too!
