Garlic chicken legs

Chicken legs are cheap and tasty - the perfect student food. I know it, because my student life is long, very long, in fact it still hasn't ended. So, unless you stay in dorms and eat in the dining halls, you'll find yourself buying a lot of chicken, especially when they are on sale for 99 cents/pound. What you can cook with chicken legs - a lot and a lot of things.  You can make porridge, 3 drumstick will be enough for a medium size pot, you can de-bone them and grill, or you can leave the bones on and roast, for a quick and easy meal, like with the recipe below.

Ingredients
4 chicken drumsticks (or 2 leg quarters: 2 drumsticks and 2 chicken thights)
1/2 cub of chicken broth (or whatever broth you have on hand)
4 large gloves of garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp chilli powder
1tsp oregano
if you don't have oregano, substitute it with whatever other herb you have on hand. I have made it with fresh cilantro, dried thyme. The chicken will taste slightly different depending on the herb you use, but it will taste good. Also, if you use fresh herb, increase the amount, since the flavor is less concentrated.

Now wash the chicken legs and pat them dry with paper towel.  Mince the garlic really fine then mix it with all the spices, salt and pepper. Rub the mixture onto the chicken. Push it under the skin as well as massage it onto the skin. Place the chicken legs in a baking dish. Add the broth and bake for about 40 minutes in the oven, preheated to 425F.

Serve with salad, mash potatoes, fries or rice (in a word, whatever you desire).

If you want a gravy with it: add 2 tbsp butter to the baking dish, 1 tsp of flour. Stirring, cook until the mixture turns into a brown paste, slowly add 1 cup warm broth, whisking. Let it simmer for 5 minutes or until you have the desired consistency.
