Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken legs in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
• If you prefer crispy skin, you can broil the chicken legs for a few minutes after they are done baking.
• Make sure to let the chicken legs rest before serving to allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to become even more tender.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover chicken legs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the chicken legs in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the reheated chicken legs with your favorite side dishes or use them in sandwiches or salads.
