Recipe Highlights from Easy Baked Chicken Legs
Let’s first get some food prep vibes going. This is about baking chicken, but you’ll see how the cooking temperature concept connects. The basics here are crucial, so stick with me.
Ingredients
So, for baked chicken legs, you’ll want:
– Chicken legs (obviously)
– Simple seasonings like salt, pepper, and garlic powder
– Optional extras: paprika or Italian seasoning for a flavor boost
Preparation Steps
1. Season those legs: You can marinate or just sprinkle the seasonings on. Totally up to you!
2. Lining the baking tray: Don’t skip this step; it makes cleanup easy.
Cooking Tips
Let’s talk about that crispy skin. One tip I learned is to pat the chicken dry before you season it. It’s simple but makes a huge difference.
Cooking Time and Temperature
So, what’s the magic number? Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Why? It gets the skin crispy while keeping the meat juicy. You’ll be cooking them for around 40 to 45 minutes.
