SkinnyTaste's Five Spice Roasted Chicken Legs are DA BOMB!

I eat meat once , at the MOST , twice a week .

This recipe was So worth it!

I love dark meat, and OMG, these chicken legs were SO So SOOOOO good!! I didn't read the comments , so I had taken off the skin. And they still came out so so sOOOOOO good. Kept marinating and cooked a little longer until the meat browned.

Oh, also, I couldn't find Chinese 5 Spice in my grocery store, so I used All Spice + fresh grated ginger. YUM!!!!!

here's the link and the recipe:
