Baked Chicken Legs

While the baked chicken legs are in the oven, prep a pot of creamy mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, or buttered noodles on the stovetop. Round out your plate and balance the savory seasonings with a sweet veggie side, like candied carrots or maple-glazed green beans.

Ingredients :
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 pounds chicken leg quarters
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions :
  1. Preheat oven to 425°. In a large bowl, combine salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and thyme. Brush chicken legs with olive oil; roll each into spice mixture so legs are coated. Place on foil-lined baking sheets. Bake until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165°, 35-40 minutes.
