Baked Chicken Legs Food

SPICY ROASTED CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line baking sheets with foil.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, cayenne and garlic, and stir. Set aside.
• Rinse and pat the chicken legs dry. With metal tongs, dip them one by one into the butter mixture and place on the prepared baking sheets.
• Once all of the chicken legs are coated and on the baking sheet, take a pastry brush and give them one last coating of the butter mixture.
• Place them into the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, basting a couple of times during roasting. If they need a bit more color, turn on the broiler for a couple minutes and watch them closely.
• Remove them when they are nice and golden brown and fully cooked.

CARAMELIZED BAKED CHICKEN LEGS/WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius.
• Place chicken in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Mix together the oil, soy sauce, ketchup, honey, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Pour over the chicken.
• Bake in preheated oven for one hour, or until sauce is caramelized.
• Could also use wings or pork ribs.

BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS/LEG QUARTERS

Steps:

• Arrange chicken thighs/leg quarters skin side up in a shallow baking dish.
• Sprinkle with garlic powder.
• Drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce on each piece.
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes to an hour, until the skin is crisp and brown and the meat is ready to fall off the bones.

SIMPLE BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Put some olive oil in the bottom of a 9x13 pan (just enough to put the drumsticks on).
• Add drumsticks (space enough apart so they aren't touching each other).
• Sprinkle generously with pepper and garlic powder. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Add rosemary to the chicken, if desired.
• Bake at 375° F for half an hour. Turn drumsticks over and add more garlic powder, pepper and salt (same as before). Top with the parsley.
• Bake another half an hour, or until cooked until 160°F.

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN LEG QUARTERS (VERY EASY, ONE DISH)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Line a large glass baking dish with foil. You can also add a baking rack to the pan to keep the chicken out of the grease and to help air circulate and make it crispier.
• Remove excess fat from chicken quarters.
• Separate the skin from the chicken, taking care that the skin stays attached at most points on the chicken. (You just want a flap. Do not remove the skin).
• Brush the chicken (under the skin) with soy sauce.
• Sprinkle some garlic powder, seasoned salt and dill weed on the chicken under the skin (I estimated the 1 tsp measures. Use as much or as little as you're comfortable with) and rub into the chicken.
• Arrange the leg quarters in the pan, skin side up, taking care not to crowd. They need space to cook properly.
• Brush both sides of the leg quarters with soy sauce.
• Sprinkle the skin with garlic powder, seasoned salt and dill weed (to taste).
• Place on middle rack in over and bake uncovered for an hour.
• After an hour, increase oven temp to 400 and bake 15 minutes.
• Chicken is done when internal temp reaches 165 (insert meat thermometer at thickest part of thigh, taking care not to touch the bone).
• Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place chicken legs in a large bowl. Spread chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt onto the chicken; pour sauce over top. Mix thoroughly and transfer to a baking sheet.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 45 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

BAKED CHICKEN LEGS WITH APPLES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Lay chicken in a roasting pan and season generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Pour apple cider vinegar and water into the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle chicken with rosemary and thyme. Arrange apple and onion wedges in and around the chicken. Drizzle everything with olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
• Increase the temperature to 395 degrees F (202 degrees C) and bake until the chicken is lightly browned, 5 to 15 more minutes. You can also brown the chicken under the broiler.

EASY BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a glass baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Spread 1/4 cup of olive oil over the bottom of the prepared baking dish and line up drumsticks on top, alternating directions so that they fit. Top with 1 tablespoon of butter each, on the thick part of the chicken. Sprinkle with garlic salt, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Cover chicken with remaining olive oil; continue to bake until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 10 to 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve.

BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 360 degrees.
• 2. Wash off the drumsticks. Do not take off the skin!
• 3. Put all the drumsticks in a large bowl & add salt and pepper.
• 5. The bottle of Adjika is usually about 8.8 oz. I use about half of that small jar. Mix the adjika with mayo. Really depends on your taste. Make sure every drumstick is rubbed with the sauce.
• 5. Take out a dish which can fit all the drumsticks on there and line it with foil (or you can just rub down the dish with butter or spray with pam, so no foil is needed really) Place the drumsticks.
• 6. Bake for about 15-20 mins on one side and then flip them to bake for the same time on the over side.
• 7. If more time needed to cook leave them in for a little more.
