Ever since The Captain and I made the Bourbon Chicken several times and absolutely love it, I have been on a quest for chicken recipes that include brown sugar.  This one seems to be a very quick and delicious chicken entree. 

I'm not sold on the sauce with goat cheese though . . . I may try it with just sour cream and roasted red pepper.   However, The Captain just informed me that I must try it with the goat cheese!   hmmmmm . . .

We never got around to trying this recipe, but it does sound delicious.

Ingredients

2 tsp brown sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tsp onion powder

2 tsp dried minced garlic

2 tsp smoked paprika

2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp black pepper

2 tbs olive oil

8 chicken legs or wings

For the sauce . . .

1/3 cup roasted red pepper, chopped

2 oz goat cheese

1/4 tsp salt

2 tbs sour cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 425.

In a plastic bag, or a bowl,  combine the first 7 ingredients. Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and rub to coat. Add the chicken to the bag (or bowl) and toss or shake bag until well coated. 

Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes, turn the chicken over, and continue to bake until cooked through, about 10-15 additional minutes (depending on the thickness of your chicken). 

In a food processor, add the roasted red pepper, goat cheese, salt and sour cream, process until well combined.
