For extra crispy skin, pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels before adding the spices. Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spiciness. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
Place chicken legs in a large bowl. Spread chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt onto the chicken; pour tamari sauce over top. Mix thoroughly to ensure each leg is evenly coated. (10 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Transfer the marinated chicken legs to a baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer to ensure even cooking. (5 minutes)

Step
50 mins
Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear. This should take approximately 45 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step
5 mins
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite. (5 minutes)
