Sweet & Salty Chicken Legs (AIP, GAPS, Paleo, GF, DF)

Do you ever get sick of the same old, same old chicken?

I get why people tend to overdo chicken. It’s an easy protein to pull together. It goes with a lot of flavours and in a lot of recipes but my goodness it can get boring… especially if you’re not working to infuse favours in different ways or trying different recipes!

I had been roasting up my batch chicken in the same spices for a while. I really love doing chicken up with oregano and cinnamon… I know, weird combo, but it’s delicious! I was even getting sick of that after a while though!

So, this recipe was a total AIP accident that turned out to be a surprising burst of flavour that I just had to share!

3) First, season evenly with sea salt and oregano
