Notes

  • Do not roast the chicken on high flame as the chicken legs might get burnt while roasting on high flame.
  • Always maintain medium to low flame and low flame is highly suggested.
  • Always use a non stick base like pan or a flat base non stick vessel to cook the legs which can avoid burning of the chicken legs.
  • Sprinkling some lemon juice all over the chicken legs adds more flavor to the chicken legs while serving them or having them.
