Brown Sugar Chili Chicken Legs

Last week the mister and his friend painted the house. The whole interior. In about two days flat. It was crazy. They were there all day long working so hard. I new I needed to make them something delicious, easy to eat, and satisfying to bring by for lunch. It was really the least I could do. Seriously, I did not help a single other iota. Didn't touch a paintbrush the whole time. 

These brown sugar chili chicken legs seemed like the perfect thing. I had been meaning to make them (I found a similar recipe on pinterest along with a roasted red pepper dipping sauce, which was obviously not gonna fly with these guys, although I may try it next time I make these!) and I knew the kick of chili along with the sweetness of brown sugar would make these boys happy. The mister is all for some sweetness in his meals, whereas I am usually more into savory. This dish is definitely a happy medium. They went so fast I hardly had a chance to take a picture, so I'll have to do them again soon.
