Description
Chicken legs are a great source of lean protein. They can also be a time-saver since the skin doesn’t need to be removed before cooking. These baked chicken legs are juicy, tender, and flavorful. And 6 ingredients are all you need to make this simple dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs (1 kg) Chicken legs (6 to 8 legs) skin-on
Marinade
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Black pepper powder
- ½ tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- ½ tsp Thyme dried
- ½ tsp Oregano dried
- 1 tsp Chilly Cayenne or paprika
Instructions
- Thaw the chicken at least an hour before baking. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.2 lbs Chicken legs
- Oven - Preheat the oven at 400°F / 200°C / Gas Mark 6 for at least 10 minutes.
- Prep pan - Line a baking tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spray the baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Marinate - Combine all the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Then, place the chicken legs on the baking tray. Do not crowd the pan. Using a pastry brush, marinate the chicken on all sides.2 tbsp Olive oil, 1/2 tsp Salt, 1/2 tsp Black pepper powder, 1/2 tsp Garlic powder, 1 tsp Onion powder, 1/2 tsp Thyme, 1/2 tsp Oregano, 1 tsp Chilly
- Bake the chicken for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden and the chicken is cooked through. When done, the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the chicken on a meat thermometer.
- I like to serve these with a squeeze of lemon and garnish with parsley.
