Ingredients
Chicken legs –
as much as you want
Butter – ½
packet
Lemon juice- ½
cup
Salt, red chilli
powder, pepper, oregano falkes, dry chilli flakes
Direction
Preheat oven to
400 degrees. To make sure that your oven is hot and ready to bake the chicken,
start preheating it when you are ready to start seasoning the chicken.
Remove the legs
from the package and wash them thoroughly under cool, running water. Remove dangling
pieces of fat or skin.
After you have
washed the meat, dry the meat with paper towels. This will help the flavors
cling to the meat, and allow the skin to get crispy when cooked.
Set the meat on
a plate until you are ready to move on to the next step.
Melt butter in a
saucepan. Place butter in a saucepan over medium heat. After the butter has
melted, add the black pepper, salt, red chilli powder and lemon juice, and stir
to combine. Remove the mixture from heat.
Coat the chicken
in the butter mixture. Using a pair of tongs, place each piece of chicken in
the butter mixture one at a time. Swirl each piece around until it's fully
coated. Place the chicken pieces in a metal or glass baking pan.
Bake the
chicken. Put the chicken in the oven and set a timer for 30 minutes. Check the
chicken after 30 minutes. It should be ready when the skin is crispy and golden
brown, or when the internal temperature has reached 180 degrees. Use a meat
thermometer to check the temperature.
