These Garlic Parmesan Chicken Legs are crispy and delicious.

I bake these on a rack over a baking sheet in the oven, and OMG they are so flavorful.

I have been on a huge chicken leg craze, they are perfect for a main course, appetizer especially on game day, and make just about the most perfect mid-day snack!

Coating the chicken legs with cornstarch and some seasonings allows the chicken to bake up really crispy!

After you bake them, then you’ll brush on some more garlic and parmesan…

oh, you can never have too much garlic or parmesan!

Now if you’re a huge garlic fan… you’ll love THESE:

  • Garlic Mushrooms
  • Lemon Garlic Chicken Thighs
  • Garlic Pumpkin Mashed Potatoes

 

I love garlic and use lots of varieties, I like the paste that is in the refrigerated section of the grocery store in a tube from Gourmet Gardens, it has a great flavor (I do not like the jarred type is has a funny taste to me) If you haven’t tried the paste, it’s yummy give it a try the next time you see it.

    Hi Diane. I’m making these garlic legs now. Is it really 1 tablespoon of minced garlic in the topping? I don’t want to mess it up!

      yes, it’s a tablespoon, but feel free to use the amount you’d prefer they were deliciously garlicky without overdoing it.
