Here is what you’ll need to make this easy Montreal Chicken Recipe:

Chicken legs for protein. I prefer to use bone-in chicken, but if you’d like to use chicken wings or chicken thighs, either one of them works as well (but may need more or less time to cook).

Montreal chicken spice for all of the tasty flavor! If you have Montreal steak seasoning, that works as well.

Sea salt and ground black pepper for extra flavor.

Olive oil and mayonnaise for the marinade. Olive oil is better to use than any other vegetable oil in this chicken recipe.

Tomato paste adds a great flavor to the marinade and the chicken meat.
