We LOVE chicken legs and I would die for 29¢/lb!! I buy 20 pounds anytime I can get them for 49¢ or less.
I take them home and put them in big roasting pans with any flavored liquid--bbq sauce, soy and garlic, spaghetti sauce, italian salad dressing, teriaki sauce, balsamic vinegar and EVOO, oyster sauce and soy---any flavor
I cover them with tin foil and bake slowly at 250 degrees for 2 hours. When I take the pans out, I pour off all the fat and let the legs cool. I put them in foodsaver bags for quick snacks. (usually without skin) My husband loves to be able to request a chicken leg any time for a snack or a meal. I put 2 to 4 in a bag--marked with flavor and date.
Most of the time, the legs are used whole but some times I make croquettes, chicken salad, chicken and noodles, any casserole. They run out faster than I can find the sales!
