Paprika chicken legs

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 180 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Line a baking tray with baking paper. Wash the legs, pat dry, season with salt and spread on the baking tray. Bake the legs in a hot oven for about 45 minutes. Mix 1 tsp. sweet paprika and oil, spread on the chicken and bake for approx. 15 minutes.

2. 2

   When you buy the meat, you can recognise its freshness by its pale pink colour. It must neither smell nor be greasy.

3. 3

   Especially important in summer: transport in a cooled condition! Stow the legs with the frozen purchases or cooled dairy products. Arrived at home, they say: Put them in a cool place until you use them.

4. 4

   To ensure that the meat brown evenly, bake at 180 °C with circulating air. This even saves electricity: with top/bottom heat, the temperature is 200 °C.

5. 5

   Only coat the legs with paprika oil shortly before the end of the cooking process so that the paprika powder retains its flavour and does not become too dark.
