The Best Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Legs will transport you right back to your childhood! Who remembers their Mom making Shake and Bake and fighting over the chicken drumsticks?
Combine all ingredients into a large plastic bag that seals. Seal the bag and shake the ingredients until combined.
Pre-heat the oven to 400 °F. Place 1 cup of the shake and bake mixture in a large sealing plastic bag. Place the chicken legs, two at a time, in the bag and shake until coated in the mixture. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat until all legs are prepped.
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the chicken legs reach a temperature of 185 °F. Remove, cool slightly and serve.
Notes
Remember what I always tell you when it comes to cooking dark chicken meat: 165 degrees is for SAFETY but that isn't what the meat is best cooked to for texture and enjoyment. Cook chicken dark meat to at least 185 °F to break down the fat and fibers, trust me and all the chefs that I know, this is the secret! Actual calories will vary as this calculates the entire batch of Shake and Bake mix. Actual calories will be less.
