For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the hot pepper sauce mixture. If you prefer a milder heat, use a less spicy hot sauce or reduce the amount used. Ensure the chicken legs are fully thawed for even cooking. Serve with your favorite sides such as coleslaw, mac and cheese, or cornbread.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil and place a wire baking rack on top. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large pot, combine water, minced garlic, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Add chicken legs; cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly. (15 minutes)
03
StepArrange the par-cooked chicken legs on the prepared wire rack. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. (5 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the chicken legs and continue baking until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), about 20 minutes more. (40 minutes)
05
StepTransfer the baked chicken legs to a slow cooker. Pour the hot pepper sauce and melted butter over the chicken, ensuring they are well coated.
06
StepCook on Low setting until the flavors meld and the chicken is infused with the spicy sauce, 1 to 2 hours. (60-120 minutes)

Jun 21, 2025The chicken was tender and juicy, but I found it a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less hot sauce.
