These baked chicken legs are tender, juicy, and perfectly caramelized, thanks to a flavorful spice rub and oven baking method.
Ingredients: 4 chicken legs. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon paprika. 1 teaspoon dried thyme. 1 teaspoon dried rosemary. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 400F 200C. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Pat dry the chicken legs with paper towels, then rub them evenly with the spice mixture. Place the chicken legs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, flipping halfway through cooking. Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy tender, juicy, and perfectly caramelized baked chicken legs!
