Baked Chicken Legs

Baked Chicken Legs

This easy to make Baked Chicken Legs recipe is seriously the best! Chicken drumsticks are seasoned with simple spices and oven baked until perfectly tender, juicy and crispy.

Ingredients

  • 12 chicken drumsticks (about 2 ¼ pounds)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • ½ cup French dressing
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Use a paper towel to pat the chicken dry. Generously season all sides with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, dressing, vinegar, and garlic and set aside.
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until browned (you may need to do this in 2 batches).
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet to the bowl with the sauce. Toss to coat and place on the prepared baking sheet; reserve the extra marinade. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the baking sheet from the oven and increase the temperature to 425°F. Spoon all the reserved sauce over the chicken. Return to the oven and bake until the glaze on the skin is caramelized, about 15 minutes more.
  5. Serve the chicken on a platter and pour any marinade from the baking sheet over it.
