Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil and arrange chicken legs skin-side up.

  2. Step 2

    Brush chicken generously with BBQ sauce, coating all sides. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Roast for 18–20 minutes until skin is caramelized and an instant-read thermometer reads 165°F at the thickest part.

  4. Step 4

    While chicken roasts, toss romaine with Caesar dressing, parmesan, and croutons in a bowl.

  5. Step 5

    Remove chicken from oven. Let rest 2 minutes, then plate alongside the Caesar salad and serve.
