Notes
Use an Instant-Read meat thermometer to check the chicken temperature. This is the most effective way to tell if the chicken is fully cooked. Chicken thighs and legs should have an internal temperature of 175 degrees F.
Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel before adding the salt and pepper. This will help the spices to soak into the meat more effectively!
If you don't like the taste of blackstrap molasses (or you can't find it in the store), you can leave it out. It's an optional ingredient.
