Start by cleaning the chicken legs, removing excess fat and skin.

Cut off any unwanted parts, such as the butt end of the chicken if not eating it.

Remove any feathers or slime from the chicken legs.

If the chicken is too large, cut it into smaller pieces by following the line of fat down the leg.

Use cutting shears to help with cutting if necessary.

Once cleaned, season the chicken legs with salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika.

Add poultry seasoning and adobo seasoning to enhance flavor.

If desired, add rosemary and parsley for extra seasoning.

Place the seasoned chicken legs in a roasting pan.

Bake the chicken legs in the oven until fully cooked, checking for doneness.

Let the chicken rest before serving.
