Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put a sheet tray in the oven to preheat.
- Wash and trim the chicken legs of any excess fat. Mix the garlic, rosemary and panko together in a shallow rimmed dish and season well with salt and pepper. Alternately, crush the garlic and rosemary with some olive oil and salt in a mortar and pestle.
- Crack the eggs into a similar dish, add the milk and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. In another dish add the flour and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Take the chicken legs and 1 at a time, dredge in the flour, then the egg wash and then coat well with the rosemary-garlic panko bread crumbs. Lay the chicken legs out on a tray lined with parchment paper, as you work. Refrigerate the legs for about 15 to 20 minutes for the breading to set.
- Remove the hot sheet tray from the oven and drizzle with a good amount of olive oil.

- Bake the chicken legs at a high temperature (400°F) for a short amount of time (20-25 minutes). This will help to create a crispy crust and juicy interior.
- Serve the chicken legs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce are all great options.
