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.

Ingredients

2 cups sugar
1/4 cup paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
20 chicken drumsticks (about 5 pounds)

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the sugar, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder and cayenne. Add drumsticks, a few at a time; seal bag and shake to coat.

Place chicken in two greased 15x10x1-in. baking pans. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. (A small amount of meat juices will form in the pan.)
Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 50-60 minutes or until chicken juices run clear and a thermometer reads 170°-175°.
