Time 50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 sticks butter
Juice of 2 to 3 lemons
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
24 whole 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.

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

6 medium Chicken drumsticks ((~1 1/2 lb))
1/4 cup Unsalted butter ((melted))
1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Sea salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place an oven safe rack on top. (I use this set, which includes the baking sheet and rack that fits perfectly.)
Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels, which will help them get crispy. Arrange the chicken legs on the rack.
Brush the chicken drumsticks with melted butter. Season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Bake the chicken legs in the oven for 25 minutes. Flip and bake for another 10-20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
