Preheat the oven to 425 degrees allowing the oil and butter to heat up as the oven preheats. Once the oil is good and hot remove the skillet and take each chicken leg and shake it in the flour mixture and using tongs to remove, shake off excess flour and place in the skillet. You will here it sizzle a little, repeat with remaining chicken. Place back in the oven for 35-45 minutes, rotating the chicken about every 10 minutes to brown on all sides. Cooking time will depend on the size of the chicken legs you are using, just check with a meat thermometer to reach 160 degrees. Remove the chicken to a paper sack or towel lined plate. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
