Chicken legs are, to me, the best part of the chicken. Yeah wings are great, but its got so little meat!! Chicken thighs are meaty and its got the dark meat part of the chicken which has much more flavor than the white.
So, the other day I wanted to make some yummy dinner but was really tired and didn't want to deal with the mess. I came up with this easy way to make these legs in 3 different ways with no mess at all to clean! :D it's every wife's dream...
So using 9 chicken legs...
-Line a big baking pan with foil paper and coat with a little non-stick spray
-in one plastic Ziploc bag combine: 3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese, 1 tbsp of melted butter, 1 tbsp of minced garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, parsley, salt and pepper to taste, and 1 tbsp of chicken bouillon. ***Add 3 legs (one at a time) to the bag and shake untill nicely coated and place over on baking pan. When all are done pour remaining dressing on top of the 3 legs.
-on 2nd plastic bag, combine: 1 tbsp of brown sugar, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp of sesame oil, 1 tbsp of lime juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Repeat ***
-on 3rd batch, you'll need 3 plastic bags- one bag with 1 cup of flour---one bag with one egg beaten---one with 3/4 cup of panko break crumbs and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese grated, salt and pepper. First dip leg on flour, then on bag with egg, and lastly dip it on the bag with bread crumbs until fully coated. Do this for all remaining legs.
- For a nice side snack with these, simply cut up some Idaho potatoes into wedges and place them on top or to the side with the chicken legs and spread lots of olive oil on them, salt and pepper--they come out soft and crispy and GREAT! and go great with the chicken!
Remove from foil and discard foil and ziploc bags leaving you with NOOOO dishes to clean!!!! :D
These are great on game nights (when you specially dont want to be cleaning up mess while watching the game) with some ranch dressing for dipping and a nice cold beer :)
