Categories     Main Course

Total Time 60 minutes

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 55 minutes

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

6-8 chicken leg quarters
2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder (granulated garlic)
2 teaspoons onion powder (granulated onion)
1 Tablespoon spicy ancho chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (for rubbing on the chicken leg quarters)
1/2 cup vegetable oil (to fry the chicken leg quarters)

Steps:

  • Heat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Dry the chicken leg quarter pieces thoroughly with paper towels after you rinse them under running water.
  • Place the chicken leg quarters in a pan and rub them with olive oil.
  • Mix together the seasoning mix in a medium bowl.
  • Sprinkle the seasoning evenly on both of the chicken leg quarter sides. Pat gently to make sure the seasoning sticks well to the chicken leg quarters.
  • Heat up 1/2 cup of vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet using medium-high heat.
  • Cook the chicken leg quarters in two batches. First, sear the chicken leg quarters for two minutes on each side, just until the skin starts to turn a deep golden brown color.
  • Line a baking pan with aluminum foil. This will make cleanup a lot easier.
  • Place a cooling rack on top of the aluminum foil. Using a cooling rack will ensure that your chicken leg quarters don't sit in grease as they cook.
  • After searing your chicken leg quarters, move the chicken quarters to the prepared baking pan.
  • Pour the leftover cooking oil onto the chicken leg quarters.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, just until the skin is golden brown in color and extra crispy. Remember that ovens bake differently, so be sure to know your oven well.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that your chicken leg quarters are fully cooked. The meat thermometer should read at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit (internal temperature). However, cooking chicken legs longer will result in a tastier chicken dinner. For this reason, keep cooking the chicken leg quarters until they reach an internal temperature of between 185 and 190 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Remove the chicken leg quarters from the oven. Serve after allowing the chicken leg quarters to rest for three minutes.

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN LEG QUARTERS (VERY EASY, ONE DISH)
This is one that I adapted from Recipe #199636 after I scored 4 huge chicken leg quarters on sale. ($0.39 a pound!). I added a few things and adjusted the cooking time and temp to to what worked for me. The skin got SO crispy and the chicken was moist and retained the flavors. It also fell off the bone. I hope you enjoy! UPDATE 11/13/15: THANK YOU for all of the great reviews! I am so glad it's such a hit! Make sure you check out the reviews for some other ideas on how to switch it up a little (but the original is still my personal favorite).
