- 1 1/2 Tbsps olive oil
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 Tbsps garlic paste or minced garlic

Place the chicken legs into a gallon size ziploc bag. Add the olive oil, taco seasoning, garlic, kosher salt, and pepper and the cayenne pepper if using.

Massage the bag until evenly mixed, which does take a minute or two. Marinate in the fridge several hours or overnight.
