Breaded Chicken Legs

Crispy breaded chicken legs can leave few people indifferent, no matter how we strive to eat right. Agree, sometimes you can definitely give yourself a break, especially since the dish is prepared at home, from quality proven products. Keep in mind that chicken legs need to be marinated for at least 6 hours, so it's best to start doing this early, for example, in the evening. It will take very little time! And even if the shins are held in confinement for more than 8 or 10 hours, it's not scary: the taste of the dish will only benefit from this. Thus, the next day you will only have to quickly cook the breading, roll the legs in it and send it to the oven. Convenient and not difficult at all!
