Chicken Legs for Dummies

"This is a recipe I've been tweaking for a while now. I wanted a good basic baked chicken recipe that would be yummy all by itself, or I could add BBQ sauce to (I like options, when I make this, I BBQ sauce half the legs for variety). This is my new go "recipe" for that. I don't measure anything, so the measurements are guesstimates. My rule of thumb is half the pepper to salt, double the paprika and rosemary to salt. I bake my chicken on a rack to avoid wet chicken. Works with skin on or off and any other cut of chicken for that matter."
