Ingredients

- Bake or Grill the bacon wrapped chicken legs for 40 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees.
- Check the internal temperature of the chicken, remember it's to be 165.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes then DIG IN!

Calories are an estimate per bacon-wrapped chicken leg. This is an amazing tailgate snack. My teenage son loves these things, he'll eat four! Serve with some greens, potato salad, pasta, or broccoli and you've got yourself a meal!
