Chicken Legs, Roasted
(Serves 2)
(Serves 2)
6 Chicken Legs
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder
¼ tsp thyme
⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
NOTES: You can baste the chicken legs in your favorite marinade or brine before using this method. I make a Tandoori spice blend which you could substitute for the spices here and still follow the instructions. You can't go wrong!
Pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
Coat the chicken legs evenly with all the spices.
Line a sheet pan with tinfoil and lightly oil an area for the legs to sit on, place the chicken legs on the tinfoil in the pan and place in lower center of the oven for 12 minutes. After 12 minutes flip the chicken over and bake for another 12-15 minutes, depending how large the legs are. If you like then a bit more color in them place under tour broiler for a minute or 2, keeping an eye on them so they don't burn. Serve with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes and gravy or some rob-a-roni!
