Recipe: Easy Marinated Chicken Legs

Easy Marinated Chicken Legs

My family loves these chicken legs - make the marinade in the morning and let sit until ready to bake for dinner.  Great for kids and you can pair with just about any side dish!

 Ingredients:

1/3 cup olive oil

juice of one lemon

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons onion powder

2 teaspoons salt

1/4 cup soy or Worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

10 chicken drumsticks

Instructions:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, soy or Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, pepper, and paprika.

Add the chicken drumsticks to a large zip-top bag and pour the marinade over the chicken.  Close the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken for a few seconds.

Refrigerate the chicken in the marinade for at least 30 minutes.  For best flavor, allow the chicken to marinate for 2-12 hours.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.  Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.

Arrange the chicken in an even layer on prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.  Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, until cooked through.
