Salt & Pepper Oven Baked Chicken Legs

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

Combine the salt and pepper together in a bowl. Place the chicken legs on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Sprinkle the chicken legs with the salt and pepper, then shake on the baking tray to cover completely.

Step 3

Bake for 15 minutes then turn and bake for another 15-20 minutes until crispy and cooked to 185 °F at least. You can cook them a bit further to your liking if you desire.

Step 4

As soon as the legs are close to being done, heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat then add the garlic and onions.

Step 5

Cook until the garlic has browned slightly.

Step 6

Remove the chicken legs from oven and place in a large bowl.

Step 7

Toss the chicken legs with the garlic oil until completely coated.

Step 8

Place the now crispy, oven baked chicken legs on a serving platter, spooning any leftover garlic oil over the top.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy!
