We were on a camping trip, and a young bachelor brought these chicken legs for dinner. They were fabulous! I was so impressed, I asked him for the recipe.

Super easy to make, and a great recipe for working moms. My family were all delighted with it. Perfect for parties or potlucks, without a lot of fuss.

Our family loves this recipe. I have shared it with friends. I do like to grill this chicken as well as bake it.

I've made these several times. I usually divide the recipe in half as we are a family of five with very little kids. That being said, there are never any left. It won't be long and I'll have to make the full recipe and there won't be any left. We all love them!

I may try these again sometime to see if we like them any better, but we weren't that excited about them the first time. They were all right....just not what I was expecting. Maybe grilling them would make a difference.
