Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees, then line a baking sheet with foil and spray it with non-stick spray. Wash Chicken legs and put them on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle generously with your favorite seasonings, I used Chicken Seasoning salt, Season All, Soul Food Seasoning, Black Pepper, and Garlic Powder. I sprinkle on one side bake about 45 mintutes and then take them out and turn them sprinkle with seasonings on the other side and bake them for about another 45 minutes. Don't be afraid to cook these for about an hour and a half total time...because I have found that they are perfect then...not rubbery at all, like baked chicken can often tend to be... if it isn't cooked long enough.
After you take them out of the oven be sure to let them stand for about 10-15 minutes...they are just better if you do this... By allowing the meat to stand a little while before serving allows the juices, (which have been driven to the center of the meat while cooking) to redistribute and be reabsorbed. The meat will be more juicy, tender, a better texture (not rubbery).
Enjoy this carefree and "easy" as it gets dish!
