SIMPLE BAKED CHICKEN LEGS
We have some family members who love chicken legs, and every now and then, I have enough to treat them. This recipe starts with a simple salt water brine that makes them tender and juicy and removes discoloration that is sometimes found along the bone. Season it up with Italian flavors, as suggested, or use your own favorite combo!

Steps:
- Place chicken legs in a medium bowl.
- Stir water and salt together in a separate bowl until salt dissolves. Pour salt water over the chicken legs, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
- When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a pan large enough to accommodate the chicken legs without crowding them, about 8-inch square.
- Drain chicken legs and pat dry. Coat with oil, then sprinkle both sides with rosemary and pepper. Place in the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 35 to 40 minutes, turning halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Arrange on a platter and garnish with rosemary sprig. Serve warm.

SIMPLE BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS
I wanted a basic way to cook drumsticks since they are cheaper than the breasts. I didn't want alot of spice or sauce on it so if you are looking that, this is not the recipe for you. We found it just right for us, the flavor of the chicken really comes through. I served with corn and twice baked potato casserole.

BAKED CHICKEN LEG QUARTERS
Chicken leg quarters are still fairly reasonable at the grocery store. Often, a single chicken thigh looks a little skimpy on a dinner plate. Leg quarters yield two or three extra bites, and they are visually very satisfying. Bonus: cooking with the bones included gives a lot of flavor. A simple, tasty seasoning blend makes prep a breeze.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
- Stir together smoked paprika, granulated garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Pat chicken leg quarters dry with paper towels. Gently lift the skin and sprinkle in 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of the seasoning blend, using a fingertip to spread the seasoning around under the skin. Brush both sides of each leg quarter with melted butter.
- Evenly sprinkle remaining spice mixture on both sides of each quarter and set cut side up onto the prepared sheet pan.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn the quarters cut side down using tongs and continue baking until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 20 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
- Turn on the broiler and broil each side of the chicken leg quarters until skin is nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Test for a final internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Transfer chicken leg quarters to a serving plate. Tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
