Instructions

    1.
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large Ziploc bag, combine all ingredients except the chicken legs and butter. Ensure the chopped walnuts are finely ground for better coating.
    2.
    Lay the chicken legs on a flat surface. Evenly rub 1 tablespoon of butter over each chicken leg, ensuring full coverage. For easier application, rub small pieces of butter between your hands and apply to the chicken, even tucking some under the skin for extra flavor.
    3.
    Spray a glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Place each chicken leg in the Ziploc bag, seal it, and shake well to coat thoroughly in the breading mixture. Arrange the coated chicken legs in the prepared baking dish, pressing any loose walnut pieces onto the top for better adherence.
    4.
    Bake for 60 minutes, flipping the chicken legs halfway through, until the skin is crispy and golden brown, and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers at least 170°F (77°C).
