Answer 1

If you like Bar-B-Que sause then put the legs in a roasting pan.Put a whole jar of Bar-B-Que sauce on the legs.Put about 1 1/2 cups of water in pan.Cover the roasting pan with tight fitting lid or foil and bake at 400 degree for 1 hour.It is good.Easy side dish is baked mac-n-cheese.Make mac-n-cheese on stove.Then put in pan and cover it with velveta cheese.Bake uncover for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees.When the cheese on top starts to turn a brown then it`s done.

Answer 2

Marinate the chicken legs in red wine vinegar, lemon juice and one of those Italian dressing packages overnight after poking them with a fork. Then take them out of the marinade and bake them in the oven in barbecue sauce in a covered dish or pan. Cook at 325° for 45 minutes to an hour. Great side dishes that are easy usually come in a can. Beans, Peas etc. You can also buy pre-made potato salad and Cole slaw.

Answer 3

In a microwave safe covered dish place 1 1/2 cups of rice, 3 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of butter. Place in microwave on high for 15 minutes.., Take out stir with a fork and place back in the microwave on high for 2 more minutes....

In a zip lock bag place spices ...garlic power, rosemary, a little Italian seasoning, paprika, salt and pepper. Put the wings in the bag and shake.

Preheat the oven to 350. In a ceramic baking dish lay the rice then place the chicken legs on top of the rice...Cover all the rice with the chicken... Place in oven and cook until the internal temp reads 180.

Open a can of baby peas and a can of sliced mushrooms.. Drain and heat in a saucepan with a little butter...

When the chicken is done... Place the chicken on a platter.... Add the peas/mushrooms to the rice (which now has a wonderful chicken flavor) and stir until evenly mixed.. Place rice/pea/mushroom mixture in a bowl and serve.

Inexpensive, Easy and Delicious! - Enjoy!

If you don't have access to a grill, place your chicken legs in a baking dish and sprinkle liberally w/ fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil chopped fresh garlic, chopped parsley, and salt & pepper. Add a little hot pepper, too, if you like it spicier. Change it up and add some chili powder or dry mustard, too. Bake at 375 for 40 min.

If you have a grill, (or even if not), and a little time to play... an AWESOME marinade is fresh lime juice, a bottle of buttermilk ranch dressing, fresh garlic, chopped cilantro & cayenne pepper.

Side dishes: oven roasted potatoes, cous cous w/ parmesan and diced plum tomatoes, caesar salad, steamed broccoli w/ lemon & butter. Best wishes!!

take the skin off and put them in a crockpot with a few sprigs of fresh thyme, a slice of lemon, one onion very thinly sliced, S&P and a clove of garlic. Pour over 1/2 cup of dry white wine.

Cook on low for 6 hours and serve with rice to soak up the juices.
