Baked Chicken Legs Mexican Style
From the sunset potluck cookbook. I love baked chicken recipes! And i especially like to collect recipes which call for those leg and thigh pieces, because those are always cheaper than most cuts of chicken. The recipe recommends serving with guacamole or a squeeze of lime juice.
