Notes
- Grab your bag of chicken legs, olive oil and salt and pepper and you are good to go. That's it!
- Barbara roasts her chicken legs on her favorite stoneware roasting sheet (like these).
- Be sure to have your meat thermometer ready to go. The chicken should be 165 degrees F (or just shy of it - 163 degrees or so) before you pull it out. Our friend, Marybeth, has a great blog post (more than one) about using meat thermometers - check it out here.
- To get a crispy skin, broil the chicken legs at the end. Be sure to watch them so they don't burn. It only takes a couple minutes.
- This is a great option if you are on a diet. These are keto chicken legs or low carb chicken legs---however you want to say it.
