Description

A simple yet delicious recipe for oven-baked chicken legs, seasoned with a flavorful spice rub and complemented by barbecue sauce.


Ingredients

  • 4 Chicken legs
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the chicken legs dry and place them in a large bowl.
  3. Mix together the spice rub ingredients in a small bowl.
  4. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken legs.
  5. Place the chicken legs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Brush the barbecue sauce over the chicken legs.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
  8. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken legs in the spice mixture for a few hours or overnight. Optionally, broil the chicken for extra crispiness.
