**Ingredients:**


- 3 lb chicken legs/wings

- Cajun seasoning

- Onion powder

- Garlic powder

- Poultry seasoning

- Chicken broth

- Onion

- Green bell pepper

- Garlic

- Salt

- Pepper

- Brown sugar (for seasoning)


**Instructions:**


1. **Prepare the Chicken:**

   - Season the chicken legs/wings liberally with Cajun seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper according to your taste preferences.

   - For added flavor, rub a touch of brown sugar onto the seasoned chicken. Refrigerate the seasoned chicken for 1 to 2 hours, or overnight if desired.


2. **Preheat the Oven:**

   - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).


3. **Prepare the Baking Dish:**

   - Spread chopped onion, green bell pepper, and garlic evenly on the bottom of a baking dish.

   - Place the seasoned chicken on top of the chopped vegetables.


4. **Add Chicken Broth:**

   - Pour 1/3 cup of chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish. This will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful as it bakes.


5. **Bake the Chicken:**

   - Bake the chicken uncovered in the preheated oven for a total of 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

   - At 20-minute intervals, baste the chicken with the drippings and juices in the bottom of the baking dish. This helps to keep the chicken moist and enhances its flavor.


6. **Serve and Enjoy:**

   - Once the chicken is cooked through and has developed a beautiful golden brown crust, remove it from the oven.

   - Serve the brown sugar baked chicken hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes.
