Slow Roasted Chicken Legs with "Roni Spice"
Slow roasted chicken legs are the perfect dish for any occasion. Try this simple recipe and enjoy the succulent flavor that comes from cooking low and slow.
Ingredients
- Package of Chicken Legs Thighs would work great too (I make extra so we have leftovers for the week but any amount works to meet your needs.
- Kosher Salt
- ~2 tablespoon of "Roni Spice"
Instructions
- Using a leftover spice bottle mix equal parts garlic powder, onion powder and cumin. I use 3 tablespoon of each and shake until well mixed.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and top with rack if you have one. Cookie drying racks work great. This technique allows the fat to drip below and the air to circulate around the whole leg.
- Open the package of chicken legs and sprinkle with kosher salt and about 1 tablespoon spice.Package of Chicken Legs, ~2 tablespoon of "Roni Spice"
- Transfer the legs to the rack on the cookie sheet spice side down.
- Sprinkle with more salt and the remainig spice.
- Put in the oven.Kosher Salt
- Now, if you want potatoes (idaho or sweet) with dinner, simply scrub, pierce with a knife and put them in the oven as well. They will cook perfectly alongside the chicken.
- Check in at the hour mark. There is no need to open the oven in between. Just let it go and go relax. At the hour mark turn the chicken and potatoes.
- Put everything back in the oven and forgeta 'bout it. At the 2 hour mark the chicken will be fall off the bone done and the potatoes will be perfectly baked.
- Now, I wanted to roast some Brussels Sprouts, so I upped the temp of the oven to 425 while the chicken was still in the oven. This got the skin even crispier but it's perfectly fine after the 2 hours at 300. Once the oven hit 425 I removed everything.
- and Popped in the Brussels Sprouts. They take about 20 minutes. Just enough time to let the chicken rest and set the table.
