recipe // savory chicken legs


A lot of times Brian and I get home from work and don't feel like spending the whole night in the kitchen...we love cooking, but we like to save those times for days off.  So when this happens, we gravitate towards quick and easy recipes.  I made it my mission to come up with a handful of these recipes to keep us from reaching for the take out menus...if you know what I mean.  We love to eat healthy and this makes it a lot easier.

I thought I'd share one of our favorites.  :)

SAVORY CHICKEN LEGS


Ingredients:

Chicken Drumsticks (Skinless or Skin On...just preference)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 You Fav Seasoning Mix (We love Archer Farms Savory Herb from Target - Sea Salt, Spices & Herbs including [Rosemary, Basil, Lavender] Dehydrated Onion, Natural Flavor)


What To Do:
Mix about a 1 tablespoon of seasoning with 2 tablespoons of oil 
(covers about 5 legs, use more if you have more legs...it's not an exact science, & you can't really mess it up. I usually just eyeball it).


Rub oil/seasoning mixture over legs and place on lightly oiled broiling pan. You can also use a shallow baking dish, but we find that the legs crisp up better when they're raised and the heat can circulate around the legs.  Feel free to sprinkle more seasoning on top if you think necessary.


 Bake at 375°F for 50-55 minutes, turning once halfway through.  When done, remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.  Then, enjoy!


Simple, right?!  

Honestly, the hardest part is waiting until they are done... becasue they are so dang delicious!  

I usually make a veggie and side while we are waiting...we love garlicky green beans and sweet potato fries (maybe some other recipe posts, perhaps..).
