The first I bring you is Hot and Sweet Chicken Legs, which are insanely scrumptious. Though they are a tad messy munching, but you will be too busy ohhing, ahhing, and mmmming to care.
And the second is Easy Peasy Chicken Legs...and they are just that, Easy Peasy! Plus, they get nice and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. YUM!
Hold on tight, cause here we goooo!!! (Can you tell Little Einsteins is on in the background, lol!)
Hot and Sweet Chicken Legs
- 1 cup Apricot Preserves
- ½ cups Ketchup
- ¼ cups Soy Sauce
- 2 tsp Minced Garlic
- 1 tsp Sriracha Sauce. The original recipe called for 2 tsp hot sauce. I used the Sriracha because it lends more flavor than just heat, and only used 1 tsp because I kinda like the sweet sound of my kiddos voices...and if their tounge was damaged, I just don't think it would sound the same.
- 3 pounds Drumsticks (about 12)
Arrange drumsticks in a single layer on a 13 x 9″ baking pan. Pour sauce over drumsticks, turning to coat. Bake, uncovered, for 40-45 minutes or until chicken is done, spooning sauce over drumsticks while baking.

Easy Peasy Chicken Legs
- 14 whole Chicken Legs (Large Package)
- Olive Oil (enough To Cover Legs Generously)
- While the original recipe calls for Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Powder to taste, I use Montreal Steak Seasoning. That stuff is magic in a jar...loaded with such flavors as: salt, pepper, garlic, red pepper, and some other top secret "stuff"....SCRUMPTIOUS!
You can also bake the chicken legs on a cooking rack fits inside of your baking sheet.

I luv me a good chicken leg. Those look great and I love the addition of the preserves.
