Kindle the Flame: Let's Get Cooking

1. Preheat the Oven

 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

 


2. Prepare the Chicken Legs

 

Pat the Beretta Farms chicken legs dry with paper towels. This helps the skin become crispy and irresistible when baked.

 

 

3. Season the Chicken Legs

 

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. 

 

Stir well to combine your lovely blend of spices. 

 

Rub the seasoning mix all over the chicken legs, ensuring each drumstick is evenly coated. 

 

For an extra touch of love, you can also use your hands to gently loosen the skin and rub some seasoning directly onto the meat beneath.

 


4. Arrange on Baking Sheet

 

Place the seasoned chicken legs on the prepared baking sheet. 

 

Make sure there is some space between the chicken legs to allow air to circulate and promote even cooking.

 

 

5. Bake the Chicken


Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken legs. Halfway through baking, flip the chicken legs to ensure even cooking on both sides.
 

 

6. Check for Doneness

 

The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy—a true testament to your cooking skills.
 


7. Final Touch

Once the chicken is out of the oven, drizzle with a little lemon juice for a fresh kick. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Sweet Nothings: Cynthia's Tips

- For Extra Crispiness: If you prefer extra crispy skin that's just as delightful as a perfect date, you can broil the chicken legs for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.

- Marinate Overnight: For more flavor, you can marinate the chicken legs in the seasoning mixture for 1-2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

- Add Spice: If you like a little heat, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.

Sealed with a Kiss: Enjoy!

There you have it—a Valentine's Day recipe that's sure to impress your loved one. 

 

These Oven-Baked Beretta Chicken Legs are a delicious and heartwarming way to celebrate the day of love. 

 

So, set the table, light some candles, and get ready to enjoy a romantic dinner with a dish that's made with love!
