Best Baked Chicken Legs

Ingrédients

• cooking spray or oil
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 chicken drumsticks (about 2 pounds)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Préparation

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Lightly grease the foil with cooking spray or oil.

2. 2

   Combine the paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Stir to mix.

3. 3

   Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.

4. 4

   Drizzle the olive oil over the drumsticks and toss to coat.

5. 5

   Sprinkle the seasonings evenly over the chicken and toss to coat all of the chicken with the seasonings.

6. 6

   Place drumsticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet with a bit of room in between each piece of chicken. Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning the drumsticks over halfway through the cooking time, until the chicken is cooked through to at least 165° F when measured with an instant read thermometer. (I find that chicken legs are best when cooked to 175° F.)

7. 7

   Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
