Sticky Chicken Legs With orange marmalade
Summertime and the livin’ is easy. And we like to keep it that way, so give this simple recipe a go. Just a few ingredients and you’ll be devouring finger lick’n good, sweet ‘n’ crispy chicken legs. Pair with our Butter Swim Cornbread Biscuits on the side — simply scrumptious!
Ingredients
- 1 dozen chicken legs
- Salt and pepper
- 2 teaspoons granulated garlic
- ½ cup orange marmalade
- 1 stick butter, cut in small pieces
Directions
-
Pat legs dry with paper towels. Season all sides with salt, pepper and garlic.
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line baking pan with parchment paper and place a cooking rack over paper. Coat rack with pan spray. Cook legs until they reach 165 degrees, turning after the top side has browned a bit to do the same on the other side.
-
If preferred, you can also grill the legs until crispy and browned.
-
Put hot legs in a deep bowl and add in marmalade and butter. Cover with another bowl and shake vigorously until butter melts and hot legs are nicely glazed.
-
Serve immediately if you prefer your chicken crispy.
Tip: To give your legs a little heat, add some hot sauce or cayenne pepper when shaking.
