- 3 pounds Chicken Legs and Thighs bone-in and skin on
- 1 tablespoon TAK House Seasoning (or your favorite seasoning blend)

-
Preheat oven to 350°, and pour a ½ cup of barbecue sauce in a 9x13” casserole dish and set aside.

Brush evenly with remaining barbecue sauce on both sides, cover dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
