Notes
Tip: I do not add any more liquid to this recipe. The water coming from the chicken along with the BBQ sauce is more than enough. I have tested this recipe with chicken broth and it came out too soggy and soupy.
Cooking Tip: Overcooking the legs could result in the bones becoming brittle. Be careful in case some break during cooking.
