Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 lbs Chicken Legs (or other cut of chicken)
  • 1 Tbsp Butter
  • 1 Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 Garlic Clove, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup Ketchup
  • 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tsp Salt

Instructions

  1. Arrange pieces of chicken in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake uncovered at 375℉ for 40 minutes.

  2. While the chicken bakes, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and cook over low heat until onion is translucent.

  3. Stir in the ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and salt.

  4. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  6. After 10 more minutes, remove the dish from the oven. Using kitchen tongs, turn the chicken pieces over and spoon the remaining sauce over the top. Bake for another 10 minutes until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the sauce is set.
