. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes.
. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken legs are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C) and slightly crispy on top.
6. Serve:
. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Tips:
. For extra flavor, marinate the chicken legs in a mix of garlic, olive oil, and herbs for an hour before cooking.
. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a slurry (1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water) during step 3.
