- Marinate the chicken legs for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
- For an extra crispy skin, pat the chicken legs dry with a paper towel before applying the marinade.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
- Baste the chicken with its own juices halfway through cooking to keep it moist and enhance flavor.
- Line your baking tray with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
Once cooked to perfection, these five-spice roasted chicken legs will have a beautifully caramelized exterior and juicy, tender meat. Pair them with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice or roasted vegetables, for a complete and satisfying meal that will impress family and friends alike.
