This is a simple recipe that you will absolutely fall in love with!
I always love baked chicken, but a lot of times it doesn't have that full crispy texture that I crave. With a few tweaks to traditional baked chicken, this recipe comes out flavorful and crispy every time.

Instructions
Step 1
Add your chicken to a large bag or bowl. Cover in 1/2 cup of bbq sauce and set in fridge to marinate at least 30 minutes or as long as 8 hours.
Step 2
Set the broiler to high with a rack positioned a few inches below. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a metal cooling rack (like the ones used for baking) inside.
Step 3
Arrange the marinated chicken legs on the wire rack with a little space between each leg.
Step 4
Broil chicken on one side until you begin to see dark brown charred spots, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip, and sear the second side until also browned, another 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 5
Set the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.
Step 6
Brush chicken all over with all but a tablespoon of the remaining sauce. Slide into the oven and bake 15 minutes. Flip chicken, and brush with the remaining sauce anywhere it's needed.
Step 7
Continue baking until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F when testing with a meat thermometer, another 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 8
Serve the chicken right away while hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side and enjoy!
