Tender, Juicy Baked Chicken Legs

If you’re looking for a recipe that yields perfectly cooked chicken legs that are bursting with flavor, this is it! Pair these chicken legs with your favorite sides for a complete meal that will leave everyone wanting more.

Ingredients

4 chicken legs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon rosemary, dried
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken legs to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Be sure to get the seasoning under the skin for maximum flavor.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes. If you have the time, marinating for a few hours or overnight will yield even better results.
Place the marinated chicken legs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Drizzle lemon juice over the chicken for added zest.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Once done, remove the chicken legs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is succulent.
