Chicken legs are often one of the least expensive cuts of chicken. Coincidentally, they are also my favorite part of a rotisserie chicken because that dark meat is just so juicy and tender! Since I loooove roasted chicken, I often make Roasted Chicken Legs that are close in texture to the moist and tender rotisserie chicken that I so love. How do I accomplish that? Low and slow heat, my friends. Low and slow.
Easy and Tasty Chicken Legs in the Oven
For this oven-roasted chicken leg recipe, I keep things simple with just chicken legs, butter, and lemon pepper seasoning (though you can use any seasoning you like!) However, don’t let the short ingredient list fool you. As the chicken roasts, the butter melts and mingles with the lemony seasoning and chicken juices, making the most incredible sauce ever. Sure, you can use olive oil or coconut oil instead, but butter…yeah, butter is just special.
Recipe Tips & Suggestions
For moist chicken legs, cook them slowly at a low temperature to stay juicy and tender. The connective tissues soften and break down into a tasty gelatin. The whole process is meat magic. You’ll also want to cover the meat tightly to prevent moisture from evaporating (either with foil or a lid), and baste once while the chicken legs roast.
Two-Phase Cooking Method
The method I use in this recipe has two phases: a low 300ºF for one hour (that’s the “low and slow” part), and then finishing off the chicken without a cover at 425ºF for about 30 minutes to crisp up the skin. If you’ve ever wondered how long to cook chicken legs in the oven for that perfect balance of tender and crispy, this two-phase method is the answer. It gives you the best of both worlds—tender, juicy insides and beautifully browned skin.

*Or use your favorite seasoning blend. If your seasoning does not contain salt, be sure to add a pinch or two of salt to the chicken. This recipe is enough to serve 3 people, with 2 people getting one chicken thigh each and the last person getting two legs. (Chicken leg quarters are made up of the thigh AND leg).

Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel, then smear butter over the surface of the skin. Sprinkle the lemon pepper seasoning liberally over both sides of the chicken pieces. Place the seasoned chicken in the casserole dish.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for one hour at 300ºF. After one hour, remove the foil and discard it, baste the chicken, and turn the heat up to 425ºF.
Continue to bake the chicken at the higher temperature for 20-30 minutes, or until the skin has achieved the desired level of brownness. Serve with the juices spooned over top or with bread for dipping.
Notes

This recipe is enough to serve 3 people, with 2 people getting one chicken thigh each and the last person getting two legs. (Chicken leg quarters are made up of the thigh AND leg).
