Quick and Easy Paleo Chicken Legs
My little cave-family eats more like a pack of saber-toothed tigers. They eat a LOT! I pride myself on my meal planning (and quantity planning) abilities, but sometimes I fall short. When my fridge is bare, I fear I will be eaten next.
So, I always have a package of organic chicken legs in the freezer….it just might save my life someday. Almost every week we have Paleo chicken legs now!
