Citrus Chicken Legs-Lime, Lemon, orange and honey

 
Citrus Chicken Legs-Lime, Lemon, orange and honey
Ingredients:
6 chicken drum sticks
2 limes, zest and juice
2 lemons, zest and juice
2 oranges, zest and juice
3/8 cup honey
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp dill
2 tsp rosemary
1 tsp garlic powder

Used Later:
2-3 tbsp of frozen orange juice concentrate
sprinkles of salt right before cooking.

Prepare the citrus by washing them, use a zester to remove the colored part of the peel, and then cut in half and juice.    Mix together all the ingredients in a large  bowl, and place the washed chicken legs and the in the marinade.  Marinate for 1-2 hours.  Remove chicken but save the marinade.

Note:  Many people say you should not use the marinade from chicken etc. due to easy contamination.  So decide for yourself.

However, for years, as long as I have boiled it on high for several minutes-5minutes or so, I have never had a problem, and it adds to the flavor.

So, that being said, take the chicken out of the marinade, and start boiling the marinade for 5 minutes.  Place the chicken  on a baking sheet. For best results, place on a silpat for easy removal at the end.  At this point, the sauce will have reduced and thickened.  Spoon over the chicken pieces before baking. If any remaining marinade, you can baste on during the cooking at 30 minutes in and 45 minutes into the baking time.   Sprinkle with some additional salt, and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes at 350 degrees F.  Let rest 5 minutes, yummy.
