　　The chili powder used here can be found in most supermarkets and is made from a blend of spices — it is much milder than pure chile powder from New Mexico, which is very hot. These chicken legs pair nicely with the succotash.

　　

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

　　2 tablespoons chili powder (not pure chile powder)

　　1 tablespoon mild honey

　　1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

　　1 teaspoon salt

　　1/2 teaspoon black pepper

　　4 whole chicken legs (2 lb), thighs and drumsticks separated

　　

Step 1

Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 425°F. Line bottom of a 15- by 10-inch shallow baking pan with foil and set an oiled large metal rack in pan.

　　

Step 2

Stir together chili powder, honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, then add chicken and turn to coat completely.

　　

Step 3

Transfer chicken to rack, arranging in 1 layer, then bake, turning over once, until cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes.
