How to make these BBQ Chicken Foil Packets:

  4. Place about 3/4 cup of frozen mixed vegetables in the center of each foil sheet.
  5. Season both sides of the drumsticks and thighs with salt, garlic powder and chipotle spice.

  9. Place the sealed packets on a baking sheet.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes.
  11. Carefully open one packet and check that the chicken is cooked through (juices should run clear and an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C is recommended).
  12. If cooked, remove the baking sheet and carefully unfold the foil packets.
  13. Brush the chicken with additional BBQ sauce.
  14. Return the chicken to the oven, uncovered, and bake for about 5 more minutes to caramelize the sauce.
