Oven Baked Chicken Legs

Oven Baked Chicken Legs are easy to make using just a couple of ingredients. This is one of those recipes that anyone can make. Even the non cook can master this easy dinner recipe.

Often times we complicate food. We make it way too time consuming. We add way too many ingredients. Some of the best meals though end up being the ones with the simplest ingredients. 

I got chicken on sale recently and cooked it for dinner. All I did was put a little bit of seasoning on it and baked it. Nothing fancy or complicated. The whole family loved it. It was a reminder that easy is often the best. 

What do you need to make oven baked chicken?

• Chicken 
• Seasoning Salt

How do you make oven baked chicken?

There are many ways to make oven baked chicken. I like to keep it simple with a basic seasoning, like seasoning salt, rubbed on the chicken. Then all you have to do is bake it at about 425 for 40-50 minutes depending on the size of the chicken pieces. 

Can I use other cuts of chicken for oven baked chicken legs? 

Yes, you can. Obviously they wouldn’t be oven baked chicken legs, they would be oven bake chicken thighs or oven baked chicken breasts, but other cuts of chicken will work. You just have to adjust the cooking time.
