Tips & Tricks (5)

Sauce Layer Strategy 🥣
Create a flavor base by mixing your BBQ sauce with spices before pouring over chicken, ensuring even seasoning and deeper flavor penetration.
Chicken Skin Prep 🍗
For crispier results, pat chicken legs and thighs completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to help spices adhere and promote better caramelization.
Low and Slow Technique 🕰️
Cook on low heat for 6-7 hours instead of high heat to ensure maximum tenderness and allow flavors to develop fully.
Custom Spice Blend 🌶️
Toast your dry spices like cumin and paprika in a dry skillet for 30-60 seconds before adding to enhance their aromatic compounds and intensify flavor.
Sauce Reduction Trick 💦
If sauce is too thin after cooking, remove chicken and reduce sauce on stovetop for 10-15 minutes to achieve a thicker, more concentrated glaze.
