Herb-Roasted Chicken Leg Quarters

Savor the rich flavors of herb-roasted chicken leg quarters, perfectly seasoned and crispy on the outside while juicy on the inside. This dish is ideal for a comforting dinner or meal prep for the week.

Steps

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the chicken leg quarter, ensuring it's well-coated. Place the chicken in a roasting pan and squeeze the lemon wedge over it. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy. Remove from the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
