When my craving for buffalo wings met my love for Mexican food and ran into the road block of my weight loss journey, this yummy chicken was born. It wasn't truly "Buffalo" in flavor, however, it was spicy and tangy and oh so delicious. It was so easy too. It was perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
I de-skinned some chicken legs. I coated them liberally with Cholula Chili Garlic hot sauce and rolled them in Taco Bell taco seasoning. Into a 400 degree oven they went until they were done. With additional chili garlic sauce on the side, it was just what I needed to conquer the craving.
Sooooo good!
you always amaze me everytime i stop by. this is so creative and perfect and why didn't i think of it before now? Love it

The leg looks divine Candace! I have no idea if we have this sauce in Greece, but if we don't I wish we did!
ReplyDeleteOh, my word, it's amazing! Such flavor, it must have been such torture smelling the aroma as they cooked, before you could finally indulge!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!! This looks delicious! And might even be simple enough for me to make :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to have to keep this recipe for when I can eat again!! Actually, I could do this on a chicken breast. I've got to go to the store!!
