Check out this Chicken Leg!

I haven't posted a picture of my dinner on here before but I couldn't resist adding this one. We are always trying to save money and so when I find an inexpensive yummy dinner I think it's worthy of sharing. I found the recipe in one of my older Real Simple magazines. It had a feature for a month of dinners. At Lowes Foods the other day they had like 16 chicken legs on a crazy sale! I think we got the whole pack for $3.00 and some change. I was in Harris Teeter today and they have the same sale going on. So, I cooked half of them and froze the other half. Without further ado, here is our lovely drumstick! I just salted and peppered them and then roasted them in the oven on 400F for about 35 minutes. Then I brushed on the glaze and let them cook for about 10-15 more minutes! Soo easy. The glaze is the duo you see behind the drumstick. Any variety of chili-garlic sauce (you find this on the Asian aisle) and orange marmalade!
It's sweet and spicy all at the same time!
















Spicy Orange-Glazed Drumsticks
1/4 cup orange marmalade

1/2 tsp chili-garlic sauce (a little more if you like it really spicy)

8 chicken drumsticks (about 2 1/2 pounds)

Kosher salt and pepper

1. Heat oven to 400 F. In a small bowl, mix the marmalade and chili-garlic sauce.

2. Season the chicken with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper (or just eyeball it). Roast on a foil-lined baking sheet until cooked through, 35-45 minutes, brushing with the glaze during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

That's it!! Enjoy!
