Fingers and Legs, it’s what’s for dinner!

I’m not one to make chicken legs often but this one-dish meal will help you have dinner ready and on the table within the hour.

After making a garlic chicken leg recipe for Christmas dinner, I was inspired to create another Paleo chicken legs recipe. Plus, the pack of legs looked good so I couldn’t pass them up and they were also on sale, bazinga! :)

Paleo Chicken Legs and Finger Potatoes with Bacon

Ingredients

2lbs organic fingerling potatoes

6 slices of bacon

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Wash and slice the potatoes into equivalent pieces.
Pat chicken legs with a paper towel and transfer to an 11x7-inch glass baking dish. Season legs on both sides with sea salt.
