Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or cooking spray.

In a mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.

Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels, drizzle with olive oil, ensuring they're evenly coated.

Press each chicken leg into the Parmesan mixture, ensuring they're evenly covered on all sides. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake the chicken legs for 35 to 45 minutes until golden-brown and crispy. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Once baked, let them rest for a few minutes and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
