This dish combines the bold heat of chili powder with the sweetness of brown sugar and the tang of barbecue sauce to create a mouthwatering experience. Whether you’re hosting a summer barbecue or just craving some delicious chicken, this recipe is sure to satisfy.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken legs
  • 1/4 pound chicken wings
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 3/4 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spice Rub: In a bowl, combine the chili powder, brown sugar, paprika, and sea salt. Mix these ingredients together until well blended. This aromatic spice mix will be the star of your chicken.

  2. Marinate the Chicken: Put on some rubber gloves to avoid getting your hands too spicy. Rub the spice mixture generously over the surface of the chicken legs and wings. Ensure that each piece is thoroughly coated with the seasoning blend. Once coated, let the chicken sit aside for 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate and enhance the taste.

  3. Mix the Sauces: While the chicken is marinating, prepare the barbecue sauce mixture. In a bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, tomato sauce, orange juice, and soy sauce. This combination will add a rich, tangy flavor to your chicken, balancing out the heat from the chili powder.

  4. Heat the Grill: Preheat your barbecue grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, start cooking the chicken pieces, turning them frequently to ensure even cooking and to avoid burning.

  5. Add the Sauce: When the chicken is about halfway cooked, generously brush it with the prepared sauce mixture. Continue to cook, turning and basting occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  6. Final Glaze: Just before serving, give the chicken another brush with the sauce to add a final layer of flavor.

  7. Serve: Serve the chicken hot off the grill with the remaining sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling over the top.

Tips

  • Adjust the Spice Level: If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the quantity of chili powder. The spice level can be adjusted to suit your taste preferences.
  • Marinating Time: While the recipe suggests 1 hour for marinating, you can let the chicken sit in the spice rub for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator for an even deeper flavor.
