Barbecue Chicken is delicious and so irresistible, it is one of the most popular Nigerian foods. It is very easy to prepare and am going to be showing you the steps to get your barbecue chicken made in no time.

Ingredients
8 chicken drumsticks (chicken laps)
1 small bowl barbecue sauce
1 big stock cube (Maggi, Knorr etc)
1 teaspoon thyme
Salt to taste
Black pepper powder to taste
Onion powder (or finely blended fresh onions) to taste

Directions for making Barbecue Chicken
Clean the chicken, removing all tiny feathers and rinse thoroughly. Place in a bowl and add the tiny pieces of thyme, salt, onion powder, ground black pepper and stock cubes (crushed).

Massage the seasoning and spices into the chicken. Cover the bowl with aluminium foil or thin plastic film and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight to marinate.

Tip: This is so that the seasoning and spices will have time to seep into the chicken making it taste better.

When the desired time has elapsed, set your oven to top and down heating (bake) and 220°C or 425F and leave to preheat for about 10 minutes.

Line your oven tray with a baking sheet and gently lay the marinated chicken flat on the baking sheet. You can also use aluminium foil if you do not have a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, turning the chicken on the other side from time to time. It is ready when you notice some browning on the drumsticks.

Using a brush, apply one coat of barbecue sauce all over the chicken drumsticks. Put back in the oven for about 5 minutes and apply another coat.

Repeat this process of applying a thin coat of barbecue sauce, putting back in the oven to dry a bit till you get the coverage you want.

That's just how barbecue chicken is made! Serve with Fried Rice, Nigerian Salad, Nigerian Jollof Rice and other Nigerian Rice Meals. You can also serve it as a snack with your favourite chilled drink.

Yummy

Looks good, thanks for sharing. I used to love chicken very much, too, but duck leg tastes better as for me, especially with baked potatoes , apples, onions and tangerines (here is the recipe by the way https://bibleoftaste.com/2020/10/06/duck-leg-recipe/ ). I highly recommend to replace chicken with duck for more pronounced and delicate taste.

Mmmm I need to try this
