Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the chicken leg dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a crispy skin.

  3. 3

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken leg, making sure to get it under the skin as well.

  4. 4

    Add Herbs

    If using, place the fresh rosemary sprig on top of the chicken leg for added flavor.

  5. 5

    Bake the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken leg on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  6. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your perfectly cooked chicken leg!
