How To Bake Crispy Oven Chicken (NO Bread Crumbs!) | Oven Fried Chicken Recipe

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Melt a couple of tablespoons of butter on a cookie sheet in the oven while preparing the chicken.

Dry each chicken leg thoroughly after washing.

Season the chicken legs with himalayan salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, regular paprika, and black pepper, massaging the seasonings into the chicken.

Coat the seasoned chicken legs with flour and add a couple of teaspoons of baking powder, massaging it in well.

Remove the melted butter from the oven and brush it over the foil on the cookie sheet.

Place the chicken legs skin side down on the cookie sheet, leaving space between each piece, and ensuring larger pieces are on the ends.

Shake off excess flour from the chicken before placing it on the tray.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes.

Turn the chicken over and cook for an additional 30 to 45 minutes until crispy.
