My little cave-family eats more like a pack of saber-toothed tigers. They eat a LOT! I pride myself on my meal planning (and quantity planning) abilities, but sometimes I fall short. When my fridge is bare, I fear I will be eaten next.
So, I always have a package of organic chicken legs in the freezer….it just might save my life someday. Almost every week we have Paleo chicken legs now!
Paleo Chicken Legs
It's nice to always have a package of organic chicken legs in the freezer….it just might save your life someday. This recipe is simple, takes no time or effort, and tastes amazing.
Ingredients
- 1-2 large packages of organic chicken legs (the dark meat is the healthiest part of the chicken, so ditch the chicken breasts - we use meat from Butcher Box)
- Coconut oil for smearing
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- Garlic powder
- Paprika
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
- Grease a glass baking dish with coconut oil.
- Placed legs in dish and pat dry with paper towels.
- Smear with coconut oil.
- Season liberally with spices, they add a nice texture and crust.
- Bake until a meat thermometer reads 165°F.
- You can baste with the juices as it cooks but that’s totally optional. Who has time for that while fighting the family off with a wooden spoon anyway?!

They are sooooo easy too!
How long do you have to bake them?
Until crispy, about 30 minutes
Made these for dinner tonight. Absolutely perfect with a crispy skin and the most delicious seasoning. I’ll be making this often,
Thank you.
Oh that’s so great to hear Ruth! We love then too, such an easy meal!
Hello, could I make a bunch and then keep warm, stacked in crock-pot? Or would they fall apart under “pressure”?
Thank you!
There is no pressure in a crock-pot so they should be just fine stacked up 🙂
