These recipes are favorites in the Joppeck family (Fair View Meadow Farm) household. They are quick and easy to prepare. The chicken legs have a bit of sweetness to compliment the spiciness of the sriracha without being overbearing or too hot. And, of course, the french fries are always a hit. Both of these recipes can be cooked in the oven at the same time, simply place one baking sheet on the top rack and one on the bottom rack.
