Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place an oven safe rack on top. (I use this set, which includes the baking sheet and rack that fits perfectly.)
- Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels, which will help them get crispy. Arrange the chicken legs on the rack.
- Brush the chicken drumsticks with melted butter. Season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Bake the chicken legs in the oven for 25 minutes. Flip and bake for another 10-20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the chicken legs with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a skillet large enough to hold the legs in one layer. Add the pieces skin side down. Add the mushrooms, onions and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn the pieces and continue cooking, stirring, about 3 minutes more.
- Pour off the fat, add the flour and blend well for about 3 minutes more. Add the wine, broth, bay leaf, thyme, parsley stems, cloves and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover tightly, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken, mushrooms and onions to a serving platter. Discard the bay leaf, the sprig of thyme and parsley stems. Check for seasoning and reduce the sauce if too thin. Stir in the butter and pour the sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle with parsley.

DEVILED CHICKEN LEGS
So-called deviled foods have one element in common: heat. Not necessarily the jalapeno type of heat, but some ingredient that gives them a slight warmth. Applying this technique to chicken legs yields delightful results. Rather than stuffing the legs, though, coat them with a mixture of mustard and chicken broth, then with shallots, garlic, bread crumbs and parsley.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Sprinkle the chicken legs with salt and pepper.
- In a baking dish large enough to hold the legs in one layer, melt the butter, and add the olive oil. Add the chicken legs, and turn them in the butter mixture until well coated. Place the legs, skin side down, in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, blend the mustard and chicken broth in a small bowl with a whisk. In another small bowl blend well the shallots, garlic and bread crumbs, plus 2 tablespoons parsley. Set aside.
- Loosen the chicken from the pan with a fork or spatula. Then with a pastry brush, brush the chicken on both sides with the mustard mixture. Arrange the legs skin side up, return them to the oven, and bake for 10 minutes more.
- Sprinkle the chicken evenly with the shallot mixture. Reduce the heat to 400 degrees, and bake for 10 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley.Serve immediately.

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken drumsticks are cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken drumsticks should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
