Smoked Paprika and Honey Chicken Legs
Market black box: Sale on chicken legs for 55¢ a pound.
What I did with them: Baked them with a pretty great (and simple) baste.
My inspiration used chili powder and honey and lime juice. I changed it up by adding smoked paprika, and substituting lemon juice as I was all out of limes. I also added more honey, and this was enough to coat all the chicken perfectly.
