Here’s the secret move: create a foil pouch. Fold the foil up around the legs, crimping the edges tightly to form a sealed “crab burrito.” Don’t be shy! You want no steam escaping. If you’re feeling extra, throw a few pats of butter inside the pouch—it’ll melt and baste the legs like a spa treatment for seafood.

Pop that foil packet directly onto the oven rack (or a baking sheet if you’re nervous). Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. No peeking! Let the steam do its thunderous work. You’ll hear a faint sizzle, and your kitchen will smell like a coastal seafood shack that just got a lottery win.
