Baking chicken legs in the oven
Description
Actually, you can marinate the chicken for just 30 minutes, but if you leave it overnight, the meat will absorb the sauce flavors even better. It will be very tasty and aromatic. These drumsticks can be served with a side dish or as a hot appetizer. You can also serve additional sauces, such as mustard or garlic sauce.
