Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken legs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper to form a paste.
Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels to ensure crisp skin and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Rub the seasoning paste evenly over each chicken leg, coating all sides well.
Arrange the chicken legs in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Remove the chicken legs from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Keto Perfectly Baked Chicken Legs with your favorite low-carb sides.
