Ingredients

  • 4 chicken legs
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) thyme
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) ancho chili powder
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) cinnamon, ground

    1. 1 Split legs into thigh and drumstick portions and remove the skin.
    2. 2 Brush tops of skinless legs with oil. Mix spices, salt and sugar together in a small bowl and rub spiced mixture onto the pieces using your hands. Place chicken in the refrigerator to “rest” for an hour.
