How to Bake Chicken Legs?
The most important thing about these baked chicken drumsticks is ensuring that they are dry. The chicken legs need to be as dry as possible to crisp up the skin.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together all seasonings and spices.
Just pat dry the drumsticks, spice, and cook in a high oven. Then you will have crispy goodness for the family.
