ROSEMARY BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS RECIPE



Rosemary Baked Chicken Drumsticks Recipe image

These baked chicken drumsticks rubbed with rosemary are so easy to make at home. We like to use a baking rack inserted into a rimmed baking sheet for this - if you do not have one, you can just place the chicken directly onto an aluminum-lined baking sheet.

Time 55m

Yield Makes 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds skin-on chicken drumsticks (about 6 drumsticks)
1 tablespoon neutral flavored oil such as vegetable or grape seed
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. If you have one that fits, lay an oven-safe rack inside the baking sheet, this helps get the chicken extra crispy - see note below. Spray rack with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Pat the drumsticks dry, and then rub with the oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Arrange the chicken onto the rack/baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, turn the chicken, and then bake until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit; 20 to 25 minutes. Let chicken rest 5 minutes, and then serve.

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN



Crispy Baked Chicken image

For pull-apart tender chicken with crisp, deeply spiced skin, rub it with a spicy-sweet mix and roast it low and slow while you're doing something else. Because this chicken is cooked at a moderately low temperature, the spices will bloom but not burn, and the chicken fat will render slowly and completely (which means you don't need any oil). The smoky rub in this recipe will turn the chicken skin into what tastes like a barbecue potato chip, but you can use other spice blends, too, like garam masala or Montreal steak seasoning. Just be sure your mix includes sugar for browning and salt for accentuating flavors. Whole chicken legs (with the thigh and drumstick attached) provide a more generous portion of juicy meat and skin that shatters, but a mix of drumsticks and bone-in thighs work, too.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 teaspoons dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
A heaping 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
4 chicken leg quarters (about 2 ½ to 3 pounds), patted dry

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper and cayenne with a fork or your fingers. Rub the spice mix all over the chicken. (You can do this step 1 to 12 hours ahead. Refrigerate uncovered, then bring to room temperature before cooking.)
  • Place the chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin side up. Bake, without flipping, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Eat the chicken with pan drippings spooned over top.

Provided by Karen Hefner

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes     Healthy

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons dried rosemary
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Cover the chicken breasts with garlic, then sprinkle with rosemary, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Place in a 9x13 inch baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until done and juices run clear (baking time will depend on the thickness of your chicken breasts).

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken legs: Look for plump, meaty legs with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid legs that are thin or have any signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Pat the chicken legs dry: This will help the skin crisp up in the oven. Use a paper towel to gently pat the legs dry before seasoning them.
  • Use a generous amount of seasonings: The rosemary, garlic, and paprika in this recipe create a flavorful crust on the chicken. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of each spice.
  • Roast the chicken legs at a high temperature: This will help the skin crisp up and the meat cook through quickly. Roast the chicken legs at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken legs rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish. Let the chicken legs rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

This crispy baked rosemary garlic chicken legs recipe is an easy and delicious way to enjoy chicken. The chicken legs are roasted in a flavorful marinade of rosemary, garlic, and paprika, and the result is a crispy, golden-brown skin and juicy, tender meat. Serve the chicken legs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
