How To Make Lemon Garlic Roasted Chicken Legs
Garlic – Use as much or little as you like. Smoked paprika – Now it’s not a roast chicken recipe with out a little smoked paprika in my books, just trust me on this one. Herbs – I’m using dried oregano and fresh thyme. Olive oil – We want a nice neutral tasting oil to allow our chicken to crisp up beautifully. Butter – I always use unsalted to control the sodium content of our dish. Chicken – I’m using legs today, skin on for flavor and texture. Of course, who am I to say that you cannot use chicken thighs, or chicken breast, any cuts of chicken will actually work for this recipe, just check the recipe notes for instructions. They’re delicious, they’re portable which is great if you’re having a picnic, or are asked to bring something to a potluck, plus you can also eat them cold. So let’s get cooking!īut why chicken legs, you ask. I do specify to marinate this for minimum of 30 minutes, although if you really want these flavors to penetrate the chicken all the way through, go for longer. 
There’s plenty of flavor in this marinade, chock full of bright lemon, tons of fresh garlic, and some punchy oregano and thyme. You basically add all these ingredients to a ziploc bag, close it up, then just shake shake shake! You do it all in a ziploc bag, no bowls to wash and cooked in just one pan, which in my book is huge. What I love about this recipe is its simplicity. The best part? No bowls to wash, super fast prep all in one pan! These Lemon Garlic Roasted Chicken Legs are loaded with flavor, perfect for a super quick dinner.
