This flavor combo is so yummy, and oh how I love garlic… you too?
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!
more chicken leg recipes to try:
- Oven Grilled Chicken Legs in a Spicy Mustard Sauce
- Maple Bacon Bourbon Chicken Legs
- Pickle Chicken
- Sweet and Spicy Slow Cooker Chicken
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:
- Hawaiian Style Garlic Shrimp
- 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.
