ROAST CHICKEN LEGS WITH LOTS OF GARLIC
If you have the time, season the chicken with salt the night before and chill uncovered so the skin will dry out a bit. Doing this helps the chicken take on a nice golden finish.

Steps:
- Remove all visible fat from the chicken and trim excess skin, leaving just enough to cover the pieces. Carefully lift the skin on each piece and slice 2 basil leaves under it. Replace the skin.
- Separate the garlic bulb into individual cloves. Trim the hard end off each clove and remove the peel. Trim any bruises and discard any cloves that are soft or dark. There should be about 12 to 15 whole cloves.
- Place the garlic in a 9"x13" baking dish. Top with the chicken.
- Squeeze the juice from half of the lemon over the chicken. Remove the seeds from the remaining lemon half and cut into 4 pieces. Add these to the baking dish.
- Cut the potatoes lengthwise into spears. Add to the dish. Drizzle with chicken and potatoes with the oil. Sprinkle with the pepper and paprika.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the chicken is tender. Remove the skin before eating.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken legs: Look for plump, meaty legs with a good amount of skin. Avoid legs that are too thin or have a lot of bone.
- Season the chicken legs well: A good rub of salt, pepper, and garlic powder will help the chicken legs develop a flavorful crust.
- Roast the chicken legs at a high temperature: This will help the skin crisp up and the meat cook through quickly.
- Don't overcrowd the roasting pan: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken legs so that they can cook evenly.
- Roast the chicken legs until they are cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken legs should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken legs rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Roast chicken legs with lots of garlic is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great option for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your roast chicken legs are cooked perfectly every time.
