Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken leg quarters
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Pat the chicken leg quarters dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.
Brush the herb mixture evenly over each piece of chicken leg quarter, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the chicken leg quarters on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a baking dish, skin side up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
For extra crispy skin, switch the oven to broil for the last 5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with your choice of vegetables or a fresh salad to complete a delicious, healthy meal.
