Roasted chicken legs with veggies, paprika sauce and dessert

Roasted chicken legs with veggies, paprika sauce and dessert

Crispy baked chicken legs served on a bed of roasted tomatoes and onions with fresh spinach, dressed with a smoked paprika sour cream sauce. Rounding out the meal is a simple dessert of sliced strawberries, pistachios and sugar-free chocolate. Tasty and satisfying, this meal is an example of a liberal low carb dinner of 18 grams of carbs per serving.

    Is the 'chili powder' in this recipe a commercial spice blend? In Australia that name is used for powdered dried chilis (ie hot peppers like cayennes) which could produce an incendiary result.

    Chili powder can definitely vary in level of heat from brand to brand. This recipe calls for only 1tsp of the chili powder. If your brand is very hot then you may wish to use half the amount.

    I do have a question about this recipe: Roasted chicken legs with veggies, paprika sauce and dessert...
    The kcal is only kcal: 640 and it seems to me way more kcal. Am I wrong about the kcal. I acknowledge D.D. do not count kcal, but I do.

    I loved this and so did my family. I suggest more simple accompanying desserts to complete the meal for other recipes !

    I did a sort of mixture of all the chicken leg recipes here on DD, I tossed them in paprika and chilli powder, and served them with butter fired spinach, really tasty.
