4-6 Full Chicken Legs
Salt and Pepper
1 Tsp. Chili Powder
1/2 Cup Sweet Chili Sauce (I used bottled)
1 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
3 Cloves of Garlic ( Chopped)
1/2 Cup Hoisin Sauce
1 Tbsp. Spice Blend
2 Tbsp. Vinegar
1/4 Cup Water
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (I opted for the low and slow method as I was in no rush and love when the meat falls off the bone).
2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and place legs on Sheet Pan.
3. Top with salt, pepper and chili powder and place in the oven.
4. In a sauce pan combine remaining ingredients and cook over low heat (about 15-20 Minutes).
5. After 35 minutes in the oven - turn the chicken and continue cooking until golden brown.
6. Transfer chicken to a large bowl and toss each piece with sauce.
7. Serve with your favorite side dish.

* 1 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1/4 teaspoon hot chili powder
* Grated lemon zest
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Prepare chicken and ensure the chicken is clean and dry. ( I like to pat it dry with paper towel to ensure the rub will adhere better).
3. Take some of the rub and massage it all over the chicken, pressing firmly to allow it to penetrate the skin. Transfer it to a tupperware dish or a ziploc bag and let it rest in the fridge.
4. Slice sweet potatoes according to the instructions.
5. Place chicken on cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about 45 - 60 minutes.
