Tender, Juicy Baked Chicken Legs

Imagine sinking your teeth into perfectly baked chicken legs, golden brown and bursting with flavor. It’s the kind of dish that makes you question why you ever considered takeout in the first place!

Baked Chicken Legs ### Ingredients:

4 chicken legs (thighs and drumsticks)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon dried herbs (thyme, rosemary or Italian seasoning)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Get that oven nice and toasty — it’ll be like a warm hug for your chicken!
Grab a mixing bowl and toss those chicken legs in olive oil. We’re talking about a chicken spa day here!
Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and those lovely dried herbs to the bowl. Combine and coat the chicken legs evenly. It’s time for flavor town, people!
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup (because we all love easy cleanup, right?), and place the seasoned chicken legs on the sheet.
Pop them in the oven and let them bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reads 165°F (75°C). During this time, feel free to practice your chicken dance!
Once your chicken has reached the ultimate level of deliciousness, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, and we all want juicy chicken, don’t we?
Serve it up with your favorite sides (think mashed potatoes, salad, or even just a pile of napkins for the sauce that’s going to come flying off these bad boys) and enjoy!

And there you have it! Your ticket to the delicious world of Baked Chicken Legs is complete. Go forth and conquer your dinner table with these tender delights—your taste buds will thank you!
