4 servings

120 minutes

Paprika chicken legs are a bright and aromatic dish of American cuisine inspired by barbecue traditions. Paprika gives the dish a rich color and a deep, slightly sweet flavor with smoky notes. The marinade made from light mayonnaise and lemon juice makes the meat tender and juicy. Baking at a low temperature allows the ingredients to unfold, creating a harmony of flavors. The dish pairs perfectly with vegetables, potato sides, or fresh salads. It is ideal for a cozy family dinner or a friendly gathering where rich flavor and simplicity of preparation are valued.
