There are lots of ways. If you're a new cook, I'd recommend broiling them.
Sprinkle on both sides with salt, pepper, and any one herb you have on hand (I like tarragon, thyme is also classic, but really you can use just about anything with chicken.)
Line a cookie sheet with foil for easy cleanup and put the legs on top, under the broiler. Your oven should have a broil setting, which is normally maximum heat. In broiling, the heating element is on the top of the oven, so have the oven rack close to the broiler. (Some ovens have a separate broiling compartment, so check where the heat is coming from.)
Broil for 10 minutes, then turn the legs over and broil 10 more minutes.
This is not the most even way to cook legs, but it's simple and should taste fine.
It's not so hard to bake or grill, either but avoid frying: fried chicken is an art unto itself and unless you know what you're doing with frying you can make a huge mess and/or start a big fire.

Skin them and put them on a broiler pan. Bake for one and one half hour at 350*, bottom or next to bottom rack--center rack is too high. Turn after 45 miniutes.
If you want to add barbeque sauce, bake drums for 30 miniutes, turn, bake another 30 miniutes. Then in the last 30 miniutes, put BBQ sauce on with a pastry brush, bake about 15 miniutes, turn, and put BBQ sauce on the second side and bake for the last 15 miniutes. YUMMY!

How do you want to cook them? You could bake them in the oven if you want to be all healthy. Or you could bread them and fry them, which would be delicious -- dredge them in flour lightly, dip them in beaten egg, then roll them in bread crumbs, then fry until golden brown.
