Step 1
Pat chicken legs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Sear chicken skin-side down 4 minutes without moving until golden.
Step 3
Flip chicken. Pour BBQ sauce over top and reduce heat to medium. Cook 12-15 minutes, occasionally basting, until internal temp hits 165°F.
Step 4
While chicken cooks, roughly chop cilantro and jalapeño. Blend with juice of 1 lime, 1 tbsp water, and a pinch of salt until chunky.
Step 5
Transfer chicken to a plate, spooning any pan sauce over top. Serve with cilantro chutney on the side.
