Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.

  3. Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels to ensure they roast up nice and crispy.

  4. Place the chicken legs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.

  5. Brush the seasoned olive oil mixture generously over each chicken leg, making sure to coat them entirely.

  6. Pop the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chicken legs for about 40-45 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  7. Once done, remove the chicken legs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

  8. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.

  9. Serve your Easy Delicious Chicken Legs hot alongside your favorite side dishes or a crisp salad. Enjoy the tender, juicy flavor with every satisfying bite!
