Easy Oven Roasted Chicken Legs Recipes

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.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• In small bowl combine mustard, brown sugar and curry powder until well blended.
• Spread cornflake crumbs on a sheet of waxed paper.
• Spread some of the mustard on each thigh, coating both sides, and coat completely with crumbs.
• Place on a shallow baking pan (sprayed with cooking spray if desired) and bake on center rack for 35-40 minutes, or until cooked through.

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.

Steps:

• Combine buttermilk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken pieces and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking pan with foil and place in the oven.
• Combine cornstarch, panko, smoked paprika, Greek seasoning, onion powder, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large resealable bag.
• Remove chicken legs from buttermilk, drain, and dip legs one at a time into the dry coating mixture.
• Remove pan from the oven with pot holders and add 1 tablespoon melted butter to the pan. With a pastry brush, spread melted butter all over the pan.
• 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.
