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

I’ve come back to this list for inspiration….I’ve got a couple packages of chicken thawing, I’d really like to try something new today. Perhaps #20 BBQ Chili Drumsticks with Avocado & Tomato Salsa….sounds yummy!
