Tasty! I couldn't get chicken legs except in an *enormous* package so I used 4 bone-in chicken thighs instead (skin removed). The only thing I would add next time is a little salt to the coating. Thanks for the recipe! -
Wonderful! The cornmeal in the coating really gives this chicken a crunch! Not only is the recipe suitable for diabetics, it's also low in fat which appealed to me. I doubled the recipe but otherwise followed it to the letter. Tasty and healthy! Thank you, kclay.

<p>Hi ~wave~ I'm Kim. I have been happily married to my DH, Dennis, for 33 years. We have lived in Georgia every since we met. I am an Army brat so had to get used to living in one place for more than a year. We have lived in this particular part of GA since '92. We have 5 children. Tiffany is our oldest and only single birth child. Our boys, Scott and Justin, are 30. Our youngest two, Audrey and Emily, are 20. Yes you are seeing correctly. We have two sets of twins. Don't ask. We also have 5 grandchildren. Cameron and Braydon are brothers. Then there is Schyler. She is our oldest. We now have added two more grand daughters. Alice and Madelyn. They are just cousins but are only 2 months apart. </p>
