2 pounds chicken thighs and drumsticks
5 cloves garlic, crushed
1 Tbsp. fresh rosemary leaves stripped from stems, chopped
2-3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1-1 1/2 tsp. coarse salt
1 tsp. black pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 420 degrees F.
In a large bowl toss and coat the chicken with all the ingredients, wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes; arrange chicken in baking sheet on cookie rack. (By placing on the cookie rack the excess fat will drip onto the bottom of the pan allowing the skin to crisp up.) I highly recommend wrapping a baking sheet in tin foil so you don’t have a ton of clean up when you are finished.
Place in oven and roast for about 40 minutes or until they are crispy golden brown.
Serve with salad, pasta or mashed potatoes.
Enjoy!!!
Chicken Legs are so versatile and are a great base for spices. They are inexpensive, easy to make and taste great!!! They do not require much hands-on time, at all.
You can marinate them a day in advance. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate; bake when you ready. It’s that easy.

Hey, I really want to try this recipe today, but I am afraid of the temperature. When coking meat uncovered and without a little water, mine comes out dry and unappetizing. Any tips? I love this recipe and would love to try it, but I do not want dry chicken.
They are not dry at all. You can cover with foil.
