chicken drumsticks

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: chicken leg quarters

Leg quarters are often cheaper and just as flavorful.

Wash and trim the chicken legs, then pat them dry with a paper towel.

In a bowl, create an irresistible spice paste by combining minced garlic, Berbere, cumin, mixed herbal chicken spice, black pepper, and olive oil.

Generously coat the chicken legs with the spice paste, allowing them to marinate for a few hours or, for an even more flavorful experience, leave them in the fridge overnight.

Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).

Line a cooking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Arrange the marinated chicken legs on the tray and pop them in the preheated oven.

Roast for 1 hour and 30 minutes at 425°F (218°C), flipping them halfway through for an even golden finish.
