Chicken Leg Recipes

I bought a large package of chicken legs on sale yesterday--what can I make?? TIA!

Re: Chicken Leg Recipes

4 ingredients - can't beat it! You can use just legs instead of the cut-up chicken....

Honey-glazed Chicken

1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 pounds), cut up (I bought the Perdue pack already cut up)

In a shallow bowl, combine the butter, orange juice, honey and salt. Remove 1/3 cup and set aside for basting. Dip chicken pieces in remaining butter mixture; place in a well-greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. (I used a 9x13 Pyrex and didn't grease it).

Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour or until juices run clear, basting occasionally with reserved butter mixture.



***I basted every 20 minutes, then again when there was 10 mins left, then again when I took it out of the oven.

I basted using the remaining butter, and also the drippings in the pan.

The result was SUPER moist delicious chicken. Just a hint of sweetness. I served with box stuffing and buttered egg noodles.

This was SO easy and tasty!!!
