Reviews
question: why have review (required) but, not enforced since 2020? one to five stars without a review/ critique is like the third row of teats on a blind boar hog. JMHO..
Simple and delicious! Definitely something I will make for a crowd! To make chipotle salt, mix 3/4 tsp chipotle powder with 1/2 cup of sea salt.
Simple and delish! Per a suggestion from another review, I broiled them for about 5 mins after pulling them of the grill. Extra crispy!
These are a crowd pleaser and so easy. I make my own chipotle lime salt (Bon Appetit) and just grind up a heaping TBS of pepper. Also, quite by accident, I found that putting the legs in an aluminum pan after bbq and putting them under the broiler on high for about 5 minutes (maybe more) gives the chicken legs the perfect amount of crisp. Using this method from now on!
Prefer this to any marinade. And drumsticks are so inexpensive.
Very easy, and very delicious. I love that these are grilled and not fried. I’ve never made wings, but my cowboy loves them, so I thought I’d try Ree’s recipe, as she’s never led me astray. He said they were the best he’s had. This recipe is certainly a keeper.
This was a wonderful change for fixing chicken legs. I usually dreaded making them. This recipe was easy and yummy. My family never even missed the breading.
This is a comment not a review so don’t get all upset and be nasty but those drumsticks look raw
