    Roasted Chicken Legs With Vegetable Kabobs Recipe

    Vegetable kabobs are a fun way to mix up the basic combination of chicken with roasted vegetables: somehow, everything is just a little bit more exciting on skewers.

    Roasted Chicken Legs With Vegetable Kabobs

    A combination of classic summer vegetables like zucchini and juicy cherry tomatoes is perfect with a simple sprinkle of dried herbs and some lemon juice, and you can just pop the vegetables in the oven to finish with the chicken so it’s all ready at the same time.

    The chicken also features a simple seasoning – chicken legs are great for this because they naturally have a lot more flavor and tenderness than the breasts. It’s easy to overcook a chicken breast, but it’s a lot harder to overcook the legs, and leaving the skin on gives you that irresistible golden-brown color and crackle on top.

    You’ve got a built-in vegetable side with this recipe, but if you wanted some extra starch to go with it, you could just toss a couple of sweet potatoes in the oven along with the chicken to keep things quick and simple.

    Try it on a Sunday night to finish off the weekend with something classic and delicious (and if you toss in a couple of extra legs, you’ll even have leftovers for the week’s lunches at the same time).
