Comment préparer Baked Chicken Legs Mexican Style

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup salsa, and 1 teaspoon salt until well combined.
In a separate shallow bowl, combine 1 ½ cups bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 tablespoon garlic salt, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano.
Dip each chicken leg into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each chicken leg for double the flavor and crispiness.
In a shallow, rimmed baking pan, melt 4 tablespoons (½ stick) of butter in the preheated oven for about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven. Arrange the breaded chicken legs in the pan, skin-side up. Spoon any remaining melted butter over the chicken.
Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. If browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
Once cooked, transfer the chicken legs to a warm platter and serve immediately.
For easy transport to a potluck, keep chicken insulated in a warm container.
