Saucy Baked Chicken Legs With Olives and Tomatoes
With skin that crisps beautifully and meat that stays juicy, chicken legs are an inexpensive cut that’s ideal for roasting.
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat oven to 425° F with a rack in the highest position.
Step 2
Toss the tomatoes, olives, garlic, oil, and thyme in a 3-quart baking dish.
Step 3
Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Nestle the chicken, skin-side up, in the vegetables.
Step 4
Bake until the chicken is browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest leg (avoiding the bone) registers 165° F, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm.

Adding butter to the chicken before you start makes the flavors pop just a little more.
