Equipment

1 half sheet pan
aluminum foil

Ingredients

1 pound chicken drumsticks also called chicken legs (4 total)
1.5 pounds chicken thighs bone-in and skinless (4 total)
seasoning salt
3/4 cup bbq sauce
fresh parsley chopped, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line half sheet pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Blot extra moisture off of chicken using paper towels and place pieces onto prepared foil. Sprinkle both sides with seasoning salt, to taste. (I used about a tablespoon for all 8 pieces.)
Spoon or brush chicken pieces with bbq sauce, then transfer to oven to bake 35-45 minutes or until chicken registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. As an optional step, half way through cooking, feel free to brush with more BBQ sauce.
Remove from oven, cover and rest 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Storage & Make Ahead Directions

Store in fridge up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months. Reheat in oven at 325° F. Chicken can be prepped ahead and baked later.
