I think I like the icing even more than I like the cake, so I’m going to try it again with a typical butter cake the next time. An excellent treat that was once out of style but is currently enjoying a resurgence is caramel frosting.

Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken legs
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
- 2 tablespoons tamari
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place chicken legs in a large bowl. Spread chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt onto the chicken; pour sauce over top. Mix thoroughly and transfer to a baking sheet.
- Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 45 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- You can use soy sauce instead of tamari if desired.

This recipe was easy and delicious! I did not use the cayenne pepper as I really don’t like it. It was perfect without itl I can’t stand the heat the cayenne pepper providesl
I loved this recipe! I did use soy sauce and the rest of the ingredients. I did broil them after baking just to get the crisp to my preference. The taste was outstanding!
It’s a decent recipe that gives you flavorful, juicy, perfectly cooked chicken legs, but not crispy ones. The skin is not that great. So perhaps broil this in the last 5 minutes to get what you expect.
This was good, but it would be too spicy for a family with young children. Easy to throw together and full of flavor. The chicken was plenty done after 40 minutes, so keep an eye on it. I wouldn’t say these really come out crispy per se, but good nonetheless.
