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.

Now serve the chicken sprinkling the oregano and chilli flakes over it.
