Lori's Lemon-Pepper Chicken Leg Quarters
Description
Easy to prepare and bursting with flavor, these roasted lemon-pepper chicken leg quarters require only 5 ingredients.
Ingredients
•
4 chicken leg quarters with skin
•
2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning
•
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
•
1 teaspoon dried parsley
•
2 teaspoons olive oil
Directions
1
Coat the leg quarters with lemon-pepper, salt, and parsley. Let sit in the refrigerator, covered, for 2 hours.
2
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
3
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken, skin-side down, to help crisp the skin, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a roasting pan.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
