👩🍳 Step-by-Step Recipe
Step 1 – Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2 – Season Chicken:
Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels. Drizzle olive oil over them. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper, then rub evenly over all chicken legs.
Step 3 – Arrange for Baking:
Place the chicken legs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
Step 4 – Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–45 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Step 5 – Rest & Serve:
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Step 6 – Enjoy:
Serve with roasted vegetables, salad, or cauliflower mash for a low-carb meal.
