This is one of the few meals where my son actually asks for more vegetables! Truthfully, I think he likes it because he can eat his vegetables with his fingers without me scolding him! =) Mix it up to your taste and enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 3lbs of Chicken (drumsticks or wings work great!)
  • Fresh asparagus
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • ½ tbsp. melted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

    I would really like to try this one! It looks really yummy and healthy too. But, I may skip the chicken skin, though.

    I love asparagus and the chicken looks great. The greasy skin and all!

    I’ve been seeing a lot of recipes lately with asparagus as a side to chicken. Weird.

    I guess it’s my subconscious telling me that I need to substitute asparagus for potatoes.

    This looks yummy and healthy! Might try it with chicken breast without the skin, just for a healthier option, so I can have dessert after! 😉

    That chicken marinade is really heavy on the garlic. Just the way I like it. Lots of tang there too with the Soy sauce and ginger.
