One of my great shopping finds yesterday was a pack of 14 chicken legs for $4. Yeah that was a score for me and I plan to have this recipe from All You October 2007 rather soon

1 1/2 cups strongly brewed coffee


1/4 cup salt

3 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons chili powder

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 cinnamon stick

8 chicken drumsticks (2 1/2 lb. total)


In a large bowl, stir together 2 cups water, coffee, salt and sugar until salt and sugar are completely dissolved. Stir in chili powder, red pepper, garlic and cinnamon. Add chicken. Top with a small plate, if needed, to keep chicken submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours. Preheat broiler. Lift chicken from brine and place on a broiler pan. (Discard brine.) Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat source until browned, about 10 minutes. Turn chicken pieces and broil until second side is browned, 10 minutes more. Set oven to 350°F. Move pan to a rack in middle of oven and bake until drumsticks are no longer pink at bone (cut to test), 10 to 15 minutes longer. Serve hot.
