As a kid, I always loved it when my mom would make oven fried chicken legs. It was one of our favorite dinners! Now that I'm a mom, I'm continuing the tradition, and my family loves this recipe!
Ingredients:
15 chicken legs
6 cups water
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup salt
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dried parsley
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon ground thyme
6 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions:
1. Combine water, vinegar, salt and sugar to form a brine. Place chicken legs in a large plastic container and cover with brine for at least 2 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
3. Pour melted butter into large 15 x 12 cooking pan, such as a jelly roll pan, coating the bottom of the pan.
4. In a large zip-top bag, combine remaining ingredients.
5. Place 4-5 chicken legs at a time in bag. Shake to coat.
6. Place chicken in pan.
7. Bake approximately 1 hour, or until juices run clear; turning chicken legs after about 30 minutes.
8. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
