Introduction:
Discover the ultimate recipe for succulent chicken legs that are sure to become a favorite at any dinner table. With a perfect blend of spices and cooking techniques, this dish ensures your chicken stays juicy, flavorful, and irresistibly delicious.

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, mix garlic, salt, paprika, oregano, lemon juice, olive oil, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir until fully combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken legs in the bowl and thoroughly coat each piece with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
3. Preheat the Oven: About 30 minutes before cooking, remove the chicken legs from the refrigerator to bring them to room temperature. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Sear the Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the marinated chicken legs, skin side down. Sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the skin is golden and crispy.
5. Bake the Chicken: Drizzle honey over the chicken legs, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Rest and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes. Serve with your choice of side dishes.
