Baked Chicken Legs Recipe

Ingredients:

• Chicken legs (drumsticks and thighs attached)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Fresh lemon wedges (for serving, optional)
• Fresh parsley or coriander (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

   • Set Temperature: Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/400°F/Gas Mark 6.

2. Prepare Chicken Legs:

   • Pat Dry: Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels. This helps the skin become crispy.
   • Season: In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper. Rub the chicken legs with olive oil, then coat them evenly with the spice mixture.

3. Bake:

   • Arrange: Place the seasoned chicken legs on a baking tray or in a roasting pan. For crispier skin, you can place them on a rack set over the tray.
   • Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F). If using a meat thermometer, insert it into the thickest part of the leg without touching the bone.

4. Rest:

   • Cool: Remove the chicken legs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and makes for juicier chicken.

5. Serve:

   • Garnish: Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and chopped parsley or coriander if desired.
   • Accompaniments: Serve with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
6. Enjoy: Your baked chicken legs, a simple and tasty dish that's perfect for any meal!
