  1. The grilled herb chicken recipe sounds great. Thanks for sharing!

  2. where can I find the recipe for the chicken legs that are on the cover of your 21 Chicken Dinner Recipe book? I think the legs may be baked with paprika, but not sure. They sure look good. Please let me know.

    thanks,
    🙂
