Gheelicious Paleo Chicken Legs

December 16, 2015 by predominantlypaleo 6 Comments

 

Well isn’t this a red banner week – 2 new recipes on the blog, it’s like a miracle or something! This is what happens when I actually have a break from writing a book manuscript and can record what I make for dinner!

So last week D’artagnan sent me the most generous boxes of delicious meats including a duck leg, duck fat, chicken legs, and duck bacon. Oh yes, you read that right… DUCK. BACON. I had never even heard of it before and then it fortuitously showed up in my Instagram feed and one fateful friendship later, I had a duck blt that would literally blow your mind. They also sent me these giant skin on chicken legs that begged me to do something delicious with them.

But here’s the thing, and I’m pretty sure I’m about to lose some friends here, but I don’t typically eat dark meat. Not from a chicken, not from a turkey, not from any bird if I had my choice. But I knew they could be incredibly awesome if I just figured out the ideal prep. So I did a little poking around and in the end I made them really simply. I used everyday seasonings that I know you’ve already got in your spice rack and I added a little fat to make sure that I nailed some extra crispy skin. Because if you’re gonna eat the skin, you gotta do it right!

We ended up with chicken that every child raved about – so much so that I might become a dark meat making machine. Who ever thought it!?

Ingredients:

  • 4 skin on chicken legs
  • Garlic sea salt to taste (I seasoned liberally)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (OMIT for AIP)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (OMIT for AIP)
  • 4 tablespoons ghee (you can sub other fat for AIP if you do not tolerate)
  1. Preheat your oven to 400
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  3. Distribute the seasonings over the 4 legs
  4. Drizzle the ghee over the seasonings, 1 tablespoon per leg
  5. Bake for 40 minutes at 400 then reduce your oven temp to 300 and allow to cook for 15-20 minutes more
  6. Remove and serve
  7. Tip: there will be crispy deliciousness left behind on your baking sheet. Don’t tell anyone else how tasty it is or you’ll have to share it!

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
