Ingredients
  

  • 10 4oz Chicken Legs (Drumsticks)
  • 1 7 oz package Kevin's Natural Foods Cilantro Lime Sauce (save half for basting)
  • 2 pieces Limes (halved)
  • ¼ cup Fresh Cilantros
  • 1 Dash of Black Pepper
  • Dash of Garlic Powder
  • Dash of Onion Poweder
  • 1 tsp #PARADISE

Instructions
 

  • Place a chicken leg or drumstick on your cutting board.  At the end of the chicken joint, snip and push the skin and chicken meat down to resemble a lollipop. Continue with the rest of the chicken legs.
  • Season chicken lollipops with black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add half of Kevin's Natural Foods Cilantro Lime Sauce. Save the other half for later. Marinate in fridge for 30 minutes to one hour.
  • After the 30 minute marination, preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup, and place the rack over. Place marinated chicken lollipops on top of the baking rack. Squeeze lime over the chicken lollipops. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
  • Flip the chicken lolipops. Squeeze lime juice over the chicken lollipops. I wrapped turkey bacons on a few of the chicken lollipops. Bake for another 15 minutes. The last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle cilantros over the chicken lolipops.
  • Serve with cilantro and lime on the side. Then enjoy!
