Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Chicken drumsticks legs

Seasoning:

  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1 tsp Salt Table salt
  • 1 tsp Chilli powder
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper powder
  • 1 tsp Italian mixed herbs
  • ½ Lemon

Optional:

  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder

Instructions
 

Preparation:

  • Clean chicken legs and dry them well with tissue paper.

Prepare marinade:

  • In a small bowl, take 2tbsp of olive oil(or coconut oil).
  • Add 1tsp of chilli powder(or cayenne pepper), 1tsp of salt, 1tsp of black pepper powder and 1tsp of Italian mixed herbs. The Italian mixed herbs usually contain dried thyme, basil, oregano, rosemary and sage.
  • Also, add the juice of half a lemon. Mix everything and set aside.

Bake chicken legs:

  • Preheat the oven to 425F(220C) temperature.
  • Make slits in the dried chicken drumsticks.
  • Apply the marinade with a brush all over the legs. Keep the legs marinated for 30mins to 1hr.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange the legs in the tray and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. You can flip the legs halfway through baking.
  • Ideally, there should be any red spots on the bone and the meat should fall off easily while slicing. If you see any red spots bake five more minutes.

Notes

Tips:
1) You can use the same recipe for baking chicken legs with skin on them. The skin actually helps to get the more roasted effect.
2) Bake veggies if you wish, along with legs halfway through.
3) Ofcourse feel free to add a choice of your spice in the seasoning mix. Few good choices are garlic powder, onion powder and ketchup.
