How to Make Baked Chicken Legs:
Chicken drumsticks (legs) are an inexpensive cut of chicken to buy at the store. But a lot of people are a little weary of drumsticks because they’re not sure how to make them. Baked chicken legs are incredibly easy to make. You just need a good marinade! This glazed chicken drumsticks recipe calls for ingredients that make up a very simple but delicious marinade. Soy sauce, honey, chili sauce, a small amount of oil, ground ginger and salt and pepper make up the marinade. The marinade is combined with the chicken legs (remove the skin or leave it on- it’s up to you). You’ll let the chicken marinate for one hour.
How Long to Cook Chicken Legs in the Oven:
Your marinated chicken legs will bake for 50 to 60 minutes in a 375 degree oven. You’ll know they’re done when you pierce them with a fork and find that they’re tender and juicy. It might seem like a long time to wait for your chicken to be done, but it’s actually a gift. This will give you time to prepare the rest of your meal!
I suggest serving glazed chicken drumsticks with potatoes and vegetables. If you’re eating low carb, serve it with a salad. And if you’re following the Weight Watchers Freestyle Points program, each drumstick is counted as 4 points. If you’re looking for recipes to complete this chicken dinner, you might consider making my Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes or this Romaine and Broccoli Salad. Green Bean Gratin would also be a great pairing with these chicken drumsticks.
