Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

BBQ Orange Drumsticks

Super easy and super good! These drumsticks are great to make in the oven or you can throw them in the crock pot for ease and depth of flavor. The meat is fall off the bone tender and I'm pretty sure everyone will love them!

BBQ Orange Drumsticks



1 pound drumsticks
Salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup orange marmalade
3/4 cup BBQ sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Season chicken with salt and pepper and place on a lightly sprayed baking sheet.

Bake chicken for 45 minutes turning once.
