Ingredients

4.5 lbs Bone-in Chicken Leg Quarters about 3 to 4 quarters
2 tbsp avocado oil or neutral cooking oil
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp GirlCarnivore Over Easy Spice Blend or your favorite chicken seasoning mix

Instructions

Prep the chicken

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Remove the chicken from the packaging and pat dry with paper towels.
Bruch all over with oil.
Season both sides of the chicken liberally with salt and the GirlCarnivore Over Easy Spice blend.
Arrange the chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet or baking dish in a single layer.

Bake the chicken

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 170 degrees F with an instant read thermometer.
Carefully remove the chicken quarters from the oven and rest for 5 minutes before serving.
If desired, cut the drumstick from the thigh at the joint to serve as individual pieces.

Notes

We roast this chicken at 425F for perfectly crispy skin and juicy dark meat in under an hour. Be sure to always check that chicken has reached a safe internal temperature with a thermometer before serving.
We love GirlCarnivore Over Easy Spice Blend for chicken. It pops with fresh herb flavor and a hint of red pepper flake. For a barbecue blend, we recommend GirlsCanGrill Chicken Rub.
