Instructions

Preheat oven at 400F, prepare baking sheet by lining with foil and top with a wire rack.
Wash chicken legs and thoroughly pat dry with a paper towel.
Place the chicken in a large bowl, and season with salt and Creole seasoning, toss properly to make sure it is well-seasoned.
Arrange chicken legs out in a single layer on the wire rack. While the chicken legs are baking oil will slowly drip to the bottom of the baking sheet.
Bake chicken legs for 20 minutes before adding the barbecue sauce (until skin starts to crisp and fat render).
Using a silicon brush, generously brush chicken with barbecue sauce on both sides. Continue baking chicken until crisps evenly on all side and lightly charred, for 20 minutes.
Garnish chicken with parsley and serve immediately.
