Time 50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 sticks butter
Juice of 2 to 3 lemons
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
24 whole chicken legs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line baking sheets with foil.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, cayenne and garlic, and stir. Set aside.
  • Rinse and pat the chicken legs dry. With metal tongs, dip them one by one into the butter mixture and place on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Once all of the chicken legs are coated and on the baking sheet, take a pastry brush and give them one last coating of the butter mixture.
  • Place them into the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, basting a couple of times during roasting. If they need a bit more color, turn on the broiler for a couple minutes and watch them closely.
  • Remove them when they are nice and golden brown and fully cooked.
