Please Help with BAKING chicken legs with skin?

I have never done it before, I%26#039;ve only baked skinless boneless breasts, so I need help.





I will bake them.. I%26#039;d like a recipe that seasons them, NO SAUCES or BBQ sauce. I%26#039;d like to get the skin somewhat crispy if possible. I%26#039;d like just a good juicy herb seasoned %26quot;rotesserie%26quot; kinda flavor.





Thanks for your help!|||1.8kg organic free-range chicken pieces


1 lemon thinly sliced and then quartered


4 sprigs fresh tarragon leaves brushed loose


4 sprigs of rosemary leaves brushed loose (or 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary)


1/4 cup olive oil


Sea salt flakes


Ground black pepper





Method





Preheat the oven to 200掳C. Rinse the chicken with cold water and pat dry with paper towel. Using your fingers, gently loosen the skin from the chicken to form a pocket. Place some tarragon and rosemary sprigs and a quarter slice of lemon under the skin on each side of the chicken breast. Season well with freshly ground black pepper and sea salt flakes. Cook until golden and juices run clear when pricked with a skewer.|||adoboe, black pepper and LOTS of paprika for flavor and crispness.|||well just put it in any type of flour and put in a frying pan with oil|||use a Mrs. Dash blend over the top and put in the oven to bake. it%26#039;s very tastey, easy and the skin gets crispy!|||Place chicken in a metal baking pan, sprinkle liberally with Lawry%26#039;s seasoned salt and dried rosemary to taste, bake at 350F for one hour.
