Crispy Chicken Legs for #SundaySupper #BacktoSchool {#dairyfree}

Time flies and we are still enjoying the rest of our summer…but you know what will happen next.  Right?!  It is back to reality - school is back in session, we all go back to our usual busy work days and activities.  This is the time when many of us look for recipes that are quick, delicious, and come together in a snap.  So without any further ado welcome to this week's #SundaySupper Back to School event bringing us over 40 different easy recipes.  The event is hosted by the lovely Tammi of Momma's Meals and Gwen of Simply Healthy Family; be sure to visit them.  Thank you for having us.

In our house an easy dinner means it is something that does not need a lot of preparation and can just be popped into the oven.  Chicken-legs fit that bill perfectly.  They are delicious, versatile, the entire family loves them, plus often there may be leftovers that can be turned into dinner the next day, or lunch.    This is why I bring Crispy Chicken Legs to the table today.  Juicy, yet crispy and on the table in less than 45 minutes.  First off, let me apologize for the bad picture…yes, it is not one of my best but please believe me that these chicken legs are absolutely delicious….

Crispy Chicken Legs  - {serves 4 with leftovers}
