  5. Bake at 400 degrees, turn after 25 minutes, bake another 20-25 minutes until the chicken is a golden brown and internal temperature is 165 degrees. May want to use a brush and add some olive oil to get more crispy.
  6. To re-heat, do not microwave. Put cold chicken legs back on an parchment lined shallow oven pan and re-heat at 400 degrees for at least 10 minutes to get the chicken crispy again.
