Penn Dutch had drumsticks on special this week so we bought a big
pack. Since they benefit from slow cooking I thought I'd 'bbq' them -
put them in a casserole dish and pour a jar of smokey mesquite bbq
sauce over the top and bake for a couple of hours. Does this sound
right? Anyone got any better suggestions for me?

Sounds delish to me. I wonder if browning them first would be nice.... kind
of to add to the "BBQ" effect?

They make great Tandoori. Mix up Tandoori powder with some lemon juice,
vegetable oil and yoghurt. Remove the chicken skin, piece the flesh to
the bone and robe with lemon juice. Marinate for 6 hours or overnight.
The longer the better. Cook in very high heat.

Use hickory, not mesquite. HTH :-)

Alas the flavour of the sauce was decided by the manufacturer, not me
:P They had four different 'flavours' but this was the only one that
didn't have MSG in it, so it was the only one I could have! The brand
is 'Stubbs' btw 🙂

Why not "oven fry them", to brown and then slow cook with bbq sauce?

Just for a change....dip lightly in the sauce...roll in bread
crumbs...then bake.

Depends on what tempurature you use; when I oven "bbq", I usually
bake for an hour at 350F. But the sauce isn't very thick when I do
that, which is why I haven't done it for a while. Do post your
results, I'm very interested in the difference another hour could
make...

Thanks for the advice! It's too late to try to cook them tonight, but
I'll do it tomorrow and report back. I'm thinking that it will work
okay if I just spread the legs in a dish and pour/baste with the sauce
and then bake at a fairly low heat so that the sauce doesn't burn...

Now for something quick and easy tonight! Hmmm... what can I whip up
in half an hour? I know - tilapia with a tomato/caper sauce and a
salad...

Yes it is... and it is too! I made them last night. Mmmmm... and best
yet, it didn't use nearly as much of the jar as I thought it would, so
we can do it three or four times more 🙂

How long did you bake them, Karen, and at what tempurature?

Just saw your other post, so never mind -- they sound great, I'll
let you know when I try them myself... :-)
