Shake A Leg Chicken Leg Recipes

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a rimmed baking dish with olive oil. A 9 X 13-inch baking dish should work.
• Place the chicken legs in the prepared baking dish. Generously spray their tops with olive oil and sprinkle them with the seasonings.
• Bake, uncovered, until the skin is crisp and browned and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 40-45 minutes. Check the chicken after the first 30 minutes. If the skin or the spices seem to be browning too much, loosely cover it with foil and continue baking.
• Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

EASY SHAKE AND BAKE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Mix flour, salt, paprika, sage and pepper together in a bag. Add chicken parts in a bag and shake until well coated.

BAKED CHICKEN LEG QUARTERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Stir together smoked paprika, granulated garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
• Pat chicken leg quarters dry with paper towels. Gently lift the skin and sprinkle in 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of the seasoning blend, using a fingertip to spread the seasoning around under the skin. Brush both sides of each leg quarter with melted butter.
• Evenly sprinkle remaining spice mixture on both sides of each quarter and set cut side up onto the prepared sheet pan.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn the quarters cut side down using tongs and continue baking until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 20 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
• Turn on the broiler and broil each side of the chicken leg quarters until skin is nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Test for a final internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Transfer chicken leg quarters to a serving plate. Tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
