• Lay coated chicken legs into the pan. Pour half of the melted butter over chicken legs.
• Roast in the preheated until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes, turning over at the halfway point. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drizzle with remaining melted butter and serve immediately.

OVEN FRIED CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Using the oven, melt the butter in a 9 x 13 casserole dish. Remove dish from the oven when the butter has melted.
• Lightly salt & pepper all of the chicken legs.
• Mix together the breadcrumbs, spices and salt. Pour the breadcrumbs into a pan or flat dish.
• Place chicken pieces in the casserole dish with the melted butter and turn the pieces until they are well coated with the butter.
• Dip each chicken leg into the breadcrumb mixture and turn until well coated. Place the chicken leg back into the casserole dish. Do this with each chicken leg.
• Let chicken sit on the counter for 15 minutes.
• Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Thoroughly rinse the chicken pieces, then place them in a bowl and cover with 4 cups of the buttermilk. Soak in the fridge overnight or up to 24 hours.
• When you're ready to fry the chicken, remove the bowl from the fridge and let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes, just to take the chill off.
• In the meantime, preheat the oven to 360 degrees F and mix up the breading. Place the flour, seasoned salt, paprika, black pepper, thyme and cayenne (plus extra cayenne if you like heat) in a very large bowl. Stir together well.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk and the milk. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and gradually mix with a fork until there are little lumps throughout; these will adhere to the chicken and make for a crispier breading. If necessary, add a little more flour or milk to make the breading slightly lumpy.
• Heat 1 1/2 to 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 365 degrees F. Lower the heat slightly, if necessary, to keep the oil from getting hotter.
• Working in batches, thoroughly coat each chicken piece with breading, pressing extra breading onto the chicken if necessary. Place the breaded pieces on a plate.
• Add the breaded chicken to the oil, 3 or 4 pieces at a time; make sure they don't stick together. Cover the pan and fry for 5 to 7 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure the chicken isn't getting too brown. Turn the pieces over, cover again, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes more. All the while, monitor the temperature of the oil to make sure the chicken doesn't burn.
• Transfer the fried chicken to a baking sheet and continue frying the rest of the chicken. When all the chicken has been fried, remove the wings and legs to a plate and keep covered. (These should be cooked all the way through by now, but always check if any pink juice or meat is visible. If so, return to the hot oil for another minute or so, until fully cooked.) Leave the thighs and breasts on the baking sheet.
• Bake the thighs and breasts for 15 minutes to finish cooking. (Sometimes I'll cut into the thicker part of one of the larger pieces just to make sure the chicken is cooked through. If any pink juice or meat is visible, the chicken needs to continue cooking in the oven.)
