How to cook deliciously - Simple Baked Chicken Legs
1 . Stage
Place chicken legs in a medium bowl.
2 . Stage
Stir water and salt together in a separate bowl until salt dissolves. Pour salt water over the chicken legs, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
3 . Stage
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a pan large enough to accommodate the chicken legs without crowding them, about 8-inch square.
4 . Stage
Drain chicken legs and pat dry. Coat with oil, then sprinkle both sides with rosemary and pepper. Place in the prepared pan.
5 . Stage
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 35 to 40 minutes, turning halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
6 . Stage
Arrange on a platter and garnish with rosemary sprig. Serve warm.
