Instrucțiuni

Pat the chicken legs dry with a paper towel and lay them in a baking dish. Next, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and rub around the chicken to coat.

In a separate small bowl make the spice marinade. Mix together kosher salt, paprika, garlic powder, dry thyme, baking powder, and some fresh cracked pepper. Season the bottom and tops of the chicken. Focus on the skin of the chicken while seasoning as the baking powder will help it get nice and crispy. Make sure to lay chicken side by side, but with some space in between and not touching.

Bake the chicken at 425 degrees for 40 minutes. Drizzle with the delicious chimichurri sauce and some fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Chimichurri:

To a blender or food processor, and all of the ingredients and blend well. If you like your chimichuri on the thinner side, add a little more water as you blend. Allow the sauce to sit and release its flavors while your chicken is baking. This condiment will last in your refrigerator for up to a week. It's a great addition to all of your summer cook outs!
