Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken Legs

3 lbs. chicken legs (thighs or other pieces will work too)

¼ c olive oil

2 to 3 t minced garlic from a jar

1 cup dry bread crumbs (can use homemade bread crumbs)

1 1/3 c parmesan cheese

1 t salt

½ t pepper

In a bowl, big enough for dipping chicken pieces in, combine olive oil and garlic. In a separate bowl combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Dip each chicken leg in oil mixture and then coat with bread crumb/cheese mixture. Lay in an 11x15 baking pan or jelly roll pan that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake 30 to 45 minutes at 375 until the chicken has cooked very well. To check the chicken take a fork and stab at various pieces and make sure that any of the juices that run out are not pink but instead run clear.
