Wash the fresh pigtails in cool water with white vinegar to inspect each piece.

Slice up a half of a red bell pepper into medium-sized slices.

Chop up an onion for seasoning.

Add the bell pepper and onion to a glass 13x9 pan for cooking.

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the pigtails in the pan.

Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, Billa complete seasoning, pink Himalayan salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika over the pigtails.

Rub the seasoning and oil into both sides of the pigtails with gloved hands.

Pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup of chicken broth into the pan, avoiding pouring it directly on the meat to keep the seasoning intact.

Cover the pan with foil and bake in the oven at 350°F for 2 and 1/2 hours.

After 2 and 1/2 hours, remove the pan from the oven and check the pigtails.

Baste the meat with the rendered fat and broth from the pan.

Add a generous amount of Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce on top of the pigtails.

Spread the barbecue sauce with a spoon, allowing some to fall into the sides.

Return the pan to the oven without foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes at 350°F.

Let the meat rest for a few minutes in the pan after removing it from the oven.

Serve the barbecue pigtails on a platter, optionally with greens on the edge.
