I am always finding a way to make an economical meal. These are the tastiest yet economical chicken legs you'll ever taste.

The recipe is full of herbs and smoking flavors, baked and simple to make.

Chicken legs, thighs, wings, and breast bone-in can all be substituted.

Shopping List:

• 6 chicken legs
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• salt and pepper to taste1 teaspoon each onion powder and granulated garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard or for another change use curry powder, or masala ground
• olive oil
• Note: you can use all fresh herbs IE: oregano, rosemary, thyme, basil, parsley if desired chopped and mixed

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and line a deep baking roaster pan with parchment paper then spray it with cooking oil spray and set aside.
• In a large plastic bag, add the seasoning.
• In a pie plate add around 1/4 cup of olive oil.
• Roll the chicken into the oil then shake the chicken leg in the seasoning.
• Place in the baking pan and bake until the skin is nice and crispy around 55 minutes depending on the thickness.
• We like ours crispy so if the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees using an instant-read thermometer we often finish the skin broiling it on high until it is nice and crispy.
