Baked Chicken Legs

Only six ingredients needed to make these extra tender baked chicken legs. They turn out so juicy and flavorful every time!

This is one of my go-to favorite meals to make during the busy season. It is very family friendly and takes minimal effort to put together. Add a side of Baked Mac and Cheese or Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes for a complete meal.

Bone in chicken is superb compared to without. The juiciness of a piece of chicken that is bone in compared to without is amazing. There really is no comparison. Give me chicken legs, whole chickens, and bone in thighs all day every day! Plus, you can use the bones to make chicken stock. That’s a win, win!

These are great reheated in the air fryer. Set your temperature for 400 degrees for about 4 to 5 minutes. It will recrisp the skin and make it taste like fresh again!

This recipe makes 4 servings, so that means each serving gets 2 legs each. If you have younger kids like I do, 1 leg is the perfect amount for them. For my husband, me, and my two younger kids we were able to get two meals out of this recipe. An inexpensive way to feed your family.
