Baked Chicken Legs
Description
This recipe uses chicken legs coated evenly with garlic parsley salt, a seasoning salt blend, and paprika to create a mildly spiced outer layer. The seasoned drumsticks are arranged in a baking dish and cooked in a preheated 400°F oven for about 40 minutes. The cooking time ensures the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption while developing a moderately crispy skin.
The flavors come primarily from the garlic and herbs in the seasoning salts combined with the smokiness of paprika, complementing the natural richness of the chicken legs. This simple approach requires no marinating or resting and results in an easily prepared protein dish.
Baked chicken legs work well served alongside vegetables or starches and can be convenient for weekday dinners due to the straightforward seasoning and bake method.
