PIONEER WOMAN'S SPICY ROASTED CHICKEN LEGS
Great recipe from PW. I couldn't find any hot salt so I tried a recipe for it that I found on the internet but next time I will just use salt and Cajun seasoning. PW says if you don't want to use hot salt use any seasoning you like. I didn't bother with broiling the legs, they looked just fine right out of the oven.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a rack on a baking sheet. Rinse the chicken legs and pat dry.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add the lemon juice and hot salt to the butter. Using tongs, dip chicken legs one at a time into the butter mixture, coating all sides. (You may need to tip the pan to get all the legs coated towards the end.) Place legs on the baking rack. Brush the remaing butter mixture on the legs with a pastry brush. Sprinkle with more hot salt.
- Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until done. If you would like them to look more brown you can turn on the broiler for a few minutes but be sure to watch closely so they don't burn. Remove to a platter and serve.

This is just like spicy chicken wings, only less work. Cooks up nicely in the slow cooker! A quick meal that is super easy and oh so yummy! For crispier chicken, bake in a 400 degrees F oven for the final 30 minutes.

SPICY CHICKEN LEGS
For health reasons, my husband had to become a vegetarian earlier this year. However, it's hard to be an herbivore when you are most DEFINITELY a carnivore! So he is allowed to have meat no more than once per week (if his doctor gives him the green light.)This is one of his FAVORITE requests. I usually buy a package of 15-18 legs and bake them all at once. My two teenagers love to eat the leftovers (if there are any!) They taste like fried chicken with a much healthier approach!

SPICY CHICKEN LEGS
This recipe as given to me and as I give it to you says it serve 4. If your family is like mine one chicken leg a piece is not a serving. :) I double the marinade and make it four leg quarters cut into legs and thighs. I grill the thighs first and place them in the oven while the legs are in the grill pan. This means the thighs need about 20 minutes in the oven (I use a meat thermometer instead of time) The result is a mildly spicy piece of chicken with good flavor. Would also be great grilled in Summer.
