Cooking Tips:
- Roasting: Roast chicken legs at a high temperature to achieve a crispy skin and juicy interior. Season with herbs, garlic, or a spice rub for extra flavor.
- Grilling: Grill chicken legs over medium heat, turning occasionally to avoid burning. Brushing with marinade during cooking enhances flavor.
- Slow Cooking: Perfect for braising or slow-cooked dishes, chicken legs stay tender and flavorful when simmered with sauces or spices.
- Seasoning: Chicken legs pair well with a wide range of seasonings, including rosemary, thyme, paprika, garlic, and citrus marinades.
