Grilled Chicken Legs With Roasted Corn Packets Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Lightly grease 4 large sheets of aluminum foil, about 12x18 inches.
• Arrange 2 chicken drumsticks and an ear of corn in the center of each sheet of foil. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Drizzle corn with melted butter.
• Spoon barbeque sauce over chicken.
• Divide pinto beans evenly over each portion.
• Fold the foil around the chicken and corn and loosely seal the edges. Transfer foil packets to a baking dish.
• Bake chicken until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Untie the chicken, then loosen the skin from the breast meat using your fingers. Take care not to make any rips. Season half the butter, then mash the garlic into it. Push the butter and then the sage leaves under the skin (get the sage leaves as flat and spread out as you can, so that they look nice as you bring the bird to the table). Push half the onion into the cavity, then retie the legs loosely with string. Smooth the rest of the butter all over the chicken and season generously.
• Put the rest of the onion in a large roasting tin and set the chicken on top. Cover loosely with a large piece of foil and roast for 1 hr 40 mins.
• Remove the foil; the chicken will be almost cooked, and the onions turning dark gold and soft. Turn the corn cobs in the cooking juices, then return to the oven for 20 mins more, turning them over halfway, until tender and catching a little colour here and there.
• Insert a skewer into the thickest part of the chicken thigh. When it's cooked, the juices that run out will be clear. Cover the whole pan loosely with foil again and let the meat rest while you dress a salad and gather everyone to the table.
