  5. They all look great but I know the Crispy Asian Chicken Drumsticks are awesome. Had some awhile back and can’t wait to taste them again.

  9. We are a household of two so whenever I buy in bulk more than half ends up in the freezer for later. That said, I am always looking for some good chicken recipes because I always end up making the same dishes over and over. Lots of inspiration here, thank you!

  11. Ever since Superbowl weekend, when I didn’t make wings, I’ve been dreaming about eating chicken, getting my fingers all messy and licking off the sauce. Now my only problem will be deciding which recipe to try first.

  17. I love this idea… chicken legs and thighs are ALWAYS on sale and I’m always looking for recipes that help with the weekly budget! We’re entertaining for a football party this weekend so I’m going to make these… winning… both reasonably priced and full, of yummy flavors!
