without drying them out?? I always feel like they are dry when I try cooking them in the oven. I must be doing something wrong.

I tend to cook at higher temps because at 350, they take too long to cook through at by that time they are all dreid out. However, meat on the bone will always be juicier. I typically cook legs (I am assuming you mean drumsticks) at 375 for 30 minutes and then use a digital thermometer to make sure they are fully cooked (should be 165 degrees).

I agree with this.
