It’s quite a challenge to cook chicken legs (drumsticks) that are rightly seasoned and cooked all the way to the bones. Usually, chicken drumsticks need marination to keep them flavorful. I usually get disappointed when I bite into a fried, barbecued, or baked chicken leg that tastes bland or still oozing with blood.
This recipe that I am going to share with you doesn’t need a marinade. You just season them, pop them in the oven and an hour later, you’ll have one of the tastiest and juiciest baked chicken legs you will ever try!
I actually came up with this recipe, out of necessity. One time, I had a pack of chicken drumsticks sitting in the fridge that needed to be cooked or else it had to be tossed in the trash because the expiration date was pretty close. I used whatever ingredients I had and to my surprise it turned out pretty good. It has since become a family favorite, especially to hubby who is a very picky eater.
You only need 4 ingredients to make this. It’s simple and easy recipe that guarantees a fully cooked and seasoned, melt-in-your mouth goodness!
