Ingredients
Scale
- 6 chicken legs
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Step: Mix all the ingredients in a gallon-size Ziploc bag. Seal the top and shake well until the chicken is well coated.
