Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place chicken legs in a deep, large baking dish. Massage 1 tablespoon olive oil onto each chicken leg. Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken. Arrange lemons around the chicken.
- Mix oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; sprinkle evenly over each chicken leg, flipping the chicken to season both sides.
- Cook chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Very nice and simple recipe. The skin was crispy and the lemon complimented the seasoning well. The recipe doesn't say, but I baked skin side up, uncovered.

Juicy and Flavorful are the first 2 words I can use to describe this dish! You may think from looking at the ingredients like I did that 1 lemon per chicken is too much, but please do yourself a...

I made this with only chicken legs and omitted the olive oil (the cooking time was only about 45 minutes). It made the most delicious sauce that I spooned over pilaf. My young boys ate 4 pieces...

Made this last night and I loved it. The chicken came out so moist and I loved the taste of the skin with all the spices. (It wasn't spicy, just a nice blend with nice flavor.) I didn't have rea...

This is very good and easy to make. Enjoyed it very much. Did as reviews suggested and used less of the spices altogether. Love the taste of this chicken, I used quarters.

We have had this twice now. Delicious! I tried it with skin on and skin off. I prefer skin on baked skin side up so that the skin can be removed if that is your preference after cooking. I a...
