butter

Place the chicken leg quarters in the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet or a baking dish.

Melt the butter and brush it over each chicken leg quarter.

Sprinkle generously with seasoning of choice.

Cover the pan with foil and bake for one hour.

Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-20 minutes until the skin is crisped to your liking and the chicken registers 165 degrees on an instant read thermometer.

Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.

This simple 5 ingredient recipe makes The Best Baked Chicken Legs I have ever had in my whole life! (And the masses agree - this recipe has been shared more than 250,000 times!) Just pop these legs in the oven, and you'll have a crispy chicken dinner!

The Best Baked Chicken Legs

chicken legs (about 10 legs)

honey

soy sauce

ketchup

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lay the chicken legs out in a foil-lined baking dish with high sides (the foil is to make clean up easier &#8212; it&#8217;s not essential but helps a whole lot). A high-sided sheet pan is the best option because it has sides to keep everything in, but it is big enough that the chicken isn&#8217;t drowning in the sauce. It will caramelize best if half of the chicken is poking out of the sauce while cooking.

In a glass measuring cup, measure out the honey, soy sauce, and ketchup. Add the minced garlic, and stir. If the mixture doesn&#8217;t combine well, microwave it on high for 30 seconds and stir again. Pour the honey mixture over the chicken legs.

Put the chicken legs in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Take the chicken out of the oven, and rotate it so that the bottom that was in the sauce is now on top, out of the sauce.

Put the legs back in the oven. Raise the heat to 425 degrees F., and bake until the sauce is bubbly and starts to caramelize on the chicken legs. This should take about 15 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the oven, and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve the sauce the the chicken cooked in with the meal or over rice if you&#8217;d like.

This recipe was AMAZING! Not a fan of chicken legs, but was so good. I thinkI may try it with meatballs next time.

The picture that you display there at the bottom has no sauce on the bottom and from what it looks like it has some sauce on the top probably set with a broiler.   Just saying it looks a little pre staged and not done as the directions state. I cannot for  the life of me see why people do these sorts of things.  happens all the time.   It makes a person that does not realize whats up feel like they did something wrong. LOL Is that the goal?  
   try My recipe - Nope you are still a failure LOL.  

   I do like the idea, it's the same idea I have every time I make baked bbq legs, hot leggs. and so on.   Tonight I do it your way. :o)   It wont be staged though, they are in the oven right now.    
  Did you know that if you slice up celery in 1/2 inch sections and toss them in the pan , pushing them down to keep the leggs apart a little that they cook more evenly?   You dont have to use celery but it is tasty. You can use whatever you like to keep your legs apart.

This was fantastic. My picky husband said it was sooobgood and the chicken was so tender. I did what 1 reviewer said and marinated this for about an hour before baking. Next time I’ll try it in the slow cooker and am also gonna try the sauce with ribs.

Picky husband said this honey garlic recipe is a keeper. Served it with Don Don noodles and turned out great! Love getting a new recipe and drumsticks were on sale for $1.00 lb got 10 legs for $2.50. Thanks!

Another 5 star recipe - picky husband said tje Orange chicken was delicious! Can't wait to try the Hawaiian chicken next! Just loving your recipes serving them with rice and Don Don noodles!
Thanks for the recipes!

I made the best baked chicken legs recipe and WOW!  My whole family gave it a thumbs up and I have picky eaters!  The sauce is so tangy, I never dreamt that ketchup, honey, garlic and soy sauce would mesh together so well!  I had one drumstick left over and I have to say, the sauce (which was delicious the first time around) was even tastier after sitting for a day!   I can't wait to try it again with rice or noodles.  I'm so glad I printed this recipe and put it in my keeper notebook for future use.  I think I will try dicing up some chicken thighs to bite size pieces to cook as the one complaint I got was how messy the drumsticks were.  This recipe is definitely a keeper!  Thank you so much for adding a new recipe to my boring dinner rotation!

Wow, now I know why these are so popular! I had prepped the sauce and legs in a gallon storage bag last week. Before I could cook them we had to leave for an emergency, so I threw the bag in the freezer. I thawed them for last night’s dinner, and this is now our favorite recipe for chicken legs. I plan to keep a container of these ready in the freezer at all times. Thank you for a recipe that is delicious and affordable.

Have made these numerous times and it never disappoints! I do remove the skin for fewer calories. Delicious every time. Have even got my son in law hooked! Thanks for the great recipe.

This Easy Baked Chicken Legs was absolutely delicious!  It was extremely easy to prepare and the end result was tasty!  I poured the juice over rice and it was yummy!  The kids all raved about how good and juicy the chicken was and I loved how easy it was to prepare midweek.  Thank you!

The Best Baked Chicken Legs You Will Ever Eat

We made this and it was lovely, the problem is we don’t really eat the skin and that’s where all the flavour is. Is it possible to make this and use the same temperatures etc without the skin, I’m just wondering if anyone’s tried this and how it turned out, would the chicken be dry? Thanks

Enjoy this Chicken Adobo with some cauliflower rice for the perfect low carb, and Paleo friendly meal. Not only is it nutritious, but it's also completely kid friendly and budget friendly!

Paprika Chicken Drumsticks

chicken drumstics

lemon

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius approx 400 Fahrenheit

Line a roasting pan with baking paper (you don't have to but it does make clean up easier)

In a small bowl whisk together the marinade, oil, paprika, garlic, lemon rind and salt (you can use a whisk or fork, you just want it well combined

Pour the marinade over the drums, I use a brush to spread it evenly

Bake in the hot oven for 45 mins, if you like a crispier  skin, at the 40 min mark baste the drums with the pan juices and pop your oven on grill for the final 5 mins of cooking

Serve

This everyday recipe for baked chicken drumsticks is easy and delicious. Simply coat the drumsticks with olive oil and spices, then let the oven do all the work. They&#39;re incredibly juicy!

Easy Everyday Baked Chicken Drumsticks

chicken drumsticks (skin-on, 4 ounces each, about 2 pounds total weight)

olive oil (extra-virgin)

Diamond Crystal kosher salt

black pepper

garlic powder

onion powder

smoked paprika

cayenne pepper

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper and arrange the drumsticks in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Make the seasoning paste: In a medium bowl, use a fork or spatula to combine the olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.

Using a pastry brush or your hands, coat the chicken pieces with the seasoning paste.

Bake the drumsticks uncovered for about 40 minutes, until they are cooked through and their internal temperature, measured with an instant-read thermometer not touching a bone, reaches a minimum of 165°F.

Baste the drumsticks with the pan juices using a clean pastry brush. Serve immediately.

Quick, easy, delicious.I sometimes add a sprinkle of panko bread crumbs before slipping in the oven.

Tried this for the first time and everybody loved it! thank you so much! first fave recipe! very easy too.

My family really enjoyed this recipe. The instructions were easy to follow and the drumsticks were delicious.  I look forward to trying more of your recipes. Thank you!

So easy and absolutely perfect! I'm adding this to my rotation. Thank you!

Super easy to prepare and cook. I added 1 extra Tablespoon of E.V.O.O. to the paste and it turned out amazing. This is a wonderful recipe.

We’ve been making for a long time and this is definitely a family favorite. We even put in the smoker with this seasoning.

Delicious and super flavourful! Will definitely be adding this to my favorites! I might try doubling up the cayenne pepper next time to give it a spicy kick.

These were easy and turned out great. I will be making them again. Thank you for the great recipe!

I've made this recipe several times. It is quick, easy and flavorful. I try to follow the Low FODMAP diet and these still taste good without the onion and garlic powder. The recommended baking temp and time were accurate for my oven. 
I use a 9 inch Pyrex baking dish and they don't stick. Thanks for a tasty recipe.

So easy and full of flavor! I followed the recipe exactly and they came out perfect. Definitely making this a regular dish.

10/10
The seasoning mix was perfect for 8 drumsticks. The only thing I did different is that I pulled the skin back &amp; made slits in the drumsticks so that every part is seasoned in the inside &amp; outside. It tasted really good this way!

Wow!  Best ever drumsticks!  So flavorful and so juicy and tender!  And so quick and easy!  I think I will add chicken thighs with the drumsticks next time.  Thanks for a great easy-peasy recipe and my house smelled so a great while they were in the oven!

Such a quick and easy way to make a great tasting dinner! My family and I enjoyed this recipe very much! Thank you!

This was a fantastic recipe! It was so easy and delicious. My child and I both devoured it! Thank you!

When I make drumsticks, this is my go to recipe. I use a brush and my hands (with food safe gloves) to really coat the flavor even under the skin if I can. I love the seasonings so much that I have made a large batch of the seasoning mix. I use the seasoning mix on chicken breasts, even pork chops. I have even given the seasoning mix to family and friends.  Thank you for this easy and delicious recipe!

I've never much cared for chicken drumsticks because they usually seem plain, with all the flavor left on the outside. This being the first time cooking them myself, I was really only looking to not dry them out. This recipe beat my expectations by coming out perfectly done and flavored throughout. Delicious!

This is a fast, easy, and flavorful recipe. And the spice mix was delicious enough to be used on almost anything.

this recipe is amazing! Simple and so super tasty. I have now cooked it a couple of times, and it has turned into a family favourite! Thank you!

Made it twice, both times delicious. Only had five drumsticks, but made as much marinade to coat them. Delicious!!! Thank you for the recipe.
