Recipe View Add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, white wine vinegar, brown sugar, and water to the saucepan. Mix well to combine and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Once simmered, set aside, covered, and let cool completely. (Total time: ~30 minutes)

Recipe View Place the chicken legs in a shallow, non-porous dish. Pour the cooled BBQ sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Reserve a portion of the sauce in a separate container for basting during grilling. Cover the dish and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate deeply. (Marinating time: 1 hour minimum, or overnight)

Recipe View Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.

05 Step

Recipe View Grill the chicken legs over medium-high heat for 8-12 minutes per side, basting occasionally with the reserved BBQ sauce, until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). The chicken should be cooked through and have a beautifully caramelized exterior. (Grilling time: 16-24 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the BBQ sauce.
If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can bake the chicken in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until cooked through.
Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 180°F (80°C) for safety and optimal texture.
Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preference. If you like a sweeter BBQ sauce, add a little more.
For easier cleanup, line your marinating dish with plastic wrap.

    The chicken was a bit charred, so next time I'll lower the heat and baste more often.
