County Fair Chicken

[fitfool]

This recipe is getting invited back because it hints of fried chicken, but it's baked so there's no hot oil popping and burning my skin. It was simple to make and my boyfriend loved how it tasted. I used two chicken legs with each leg cut into two pieces (a thigh and drumstick). I left the skin on and with the coating, it formed a nice crisp (though not extra crunchy) crust. I liked how it tasted but wanted it to have a little more oomph. Maybe I'll try brining the pieces first next time. I'll have to look up how to do that. Any suggestions?
