Spicy Roasted Chicken Legs

The Cast of Characters:
Chicken Legs, Butter, Lemon Juice, and Seasonings. (I use Morton’s Hot Salt, but the world is your oyster. Spice wise, anyway.)

Now, I cooked about 24 chicken legs, so I melted 2 sticks regular butter in a saucepan. Then, measure about 1/2 cup of lemon juice… And pour it into the melted butter. Now, you can use ANY seasonings that appeal to you. Sometimes I add a bunch of minced garlic, some salt, and cayenne pepper. I use about 1 tablespoon. And I just dump it right into the butter/lemon juice mixture. Now stir it together well…

Thoroughly rinse your chicken legs. And with tongs, transfer chicken legs to the butter mixture one by one. Tilt the pan if you need to, and slosh the chicken around until thoroughly coated. Remove each chicken leg to a baking rack. And before you pop them in the oven, give ‘em another coat of the butter mixture. Now, give them another sprinkle of seasoning. Don’t be shy! Lay it on, baby. And now they’re ready to roast!

Pop ‘em in a 400-degree oven for exactly thirty minutes. How easy is that? After thirty minutes, they should be nice and golden brown. But if they could use just a little more color, turn the broiler on high and let ‘em sit under it for a minute or two.
