The Best Chicken Legs Recipe
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- ¾ teaspoon paprika
- ¾ teaspoon hot paprika see notes
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 12 chicken legs
- oil see notes
Instructions
- To begin, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking oil. (I use ghee spray mentioned in the notes.)
- In a small dish, combine the paprikas, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and garlic powder.
- Lightly coat your chicken with your preferred cooking oil.
- Sprinkle the chicken legs with the seasoning mixture on both sides.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Turn the legs over and continue to bake for another 30 minutes.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- If you can not find hot paprika in your area, increase the regular paprika to 1 1/2 teaspoon and add 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
- To coat the chicken legs, I simply spray them with ghee spray that I get at my local store. If you can not find it, just lightly coat them with your preferred cooking oil.
