Savory baked chicken legs

Main Dishes

January 12, 2023

I love the ease and versatility of baked chicken. By using melted cooking fat and whatever spices you like, there are endless possibilities. To simplify things even further, I recommend that you choose one of the spice blend recipes to top the chicken legs.

PREP TIME

5 minutes

COOKING TIME

45-60 minutes

YIELD

6 chicken legs (3-6 servings)

6 chicken legs

1-2 tablespoons melted butter, ghee, bacon fat, or coconut oil

2 tablespoons of the spice blend of your choice
(recipe here)

NIGHTSHADE FREE?

Use only nightshade-free spice blends.

FODMAP FREE?

Use only FODMAP-free spice blends.

CHANGE IT UP

Substitute bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts if you don’t have chicken legs.

Serve with a simple green salad or with Roasted Rosemary Roots (recipe here).

FODMAPS

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Place the chicken legs onto a baking sheet or into an oven-safe dish, and brush them with melted butter. Sprinkle the spice blend evenly over the chicken legs.

Bake for 45-60 minutes or until a thermometer reads 165°F when inserted into the center of one of the chicken legs.
