Spicy chicken legs with blue cheese dip
These spicy chicken legs are a great dish to take to barbecues, picnics and family parties. The spice combination has quite a kick so feel free to adjust the quantity of cayenne pepper and chilli flakes for more sensitive palates. Our cooling blue cheese dip is so easy to make and compliments the heat perfectly.
