Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 450 F.
- Pat the chicken legs completely dry with paper towel. This is what lets the skin crisp.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken and turn until every piece is coated.
- Arrange the legs skin side up on an oiled baking tray, leaving space between them so they roast rather than steam.
- Dot the butter over the chicken.
- Roast for about 40 minutes, until the skin is golden and the juices run clear.
- Spoon the pan juices over the chicken and serve.
