Baked Chicken Thighsleg Quarters Recipes

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN LEG QUARTERS (VERY EASY, ONE DISH)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Line a large glass baking dish with foil. You can also add a baking rack to the pan to keep the chicken out of the grease and to help air circulate and make it crispier.
• Remove excess fat from chicken quarters.
• Separate the skin from the chicken, taking care that the skin stays attached at most points on the chicken. (You just want a flap. Do not remove the skin).
• Brush the chicken (under the skin) with soy sauce.
• Sprinkle some garlic powder, seasoned salt and dill weed on the chicken under the skin (I estimated the 1 tsp measures. Use as much or as little as you're comfortable with) and rub into the chicken.
• Arrange the leg quarters in the pan, skin side up, taking care not to crowd. They need space to cook properly.
• Brush both sides of the leg quarters with soy sauce.
• Sprinkle the skin with garlic powder, seasoned salt and dill weed (to taste).
• Place on middle rack in over and bake uncovered for an hour.
• After an hour, increase oven temp to 400 and bake 15 minutes.
• Chicken is done when internal temp reaches 165 (insert meat thermometer at thickest part of thigh, taking care not to touch the bone).
• Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS/LEG QUARTERS

Steps:

• Arrange chicken thighs/leg quarters skin side up in a shallow baking dish.
• Sprinkle with garlic powder.
• Drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce on each piece.
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes to an hour, until the skin is crisp and brown and the meat is ready to fall off the bones.

FANTASTIC BAKED CHICKEN LEG QUARTERS

Steps:

• Heat a large cast iron or other heavy, oven proof pot over high heat. Add the olive oil. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
• Season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Add to the pan skin side down and leave to brown for 2-3 minutes. Flip and repeat. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Add all the veggies into the pan. If it looks like the pan will be too crowded, split into 2 batches. Add in the salt and pepper. After 5 minutes of cooking, add in the tomato paste. Stir to incorporate. When the veggies start browning, add in the balsamic vinegar and mix well. Immediately remove from the heat and set the veggies aside. Turn off the heat to the stove.
• Layer the chicken in the bottom of the pan. Top with the lightly browned veggies. Cover the pot and bake in the oven for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven, serve hot into bowls and top with the parmesan cheese. Happy eating!

THE MOST FLAVORFUL BAKED CHICKEN LEG QUARTERS

Steps:

• To make the wet rub combine all the spices in a small bowl and add the oil. *Save some of the rub for the vegetables.
• Pat dry the chicken and then proceed to rub the mixture on the chicken. I use my hands but you can use gloves if it is more comfortable for you. With my fingers, I go inside the skin to season the whole chicken leg quarter.
• Once your meat is coated with the wet rub, place them in a baking sheet and bake them in the oven for about 40 minutes to an hour at a 400-degree Fahrenheit.
• Cut all the vegetables and place them in a baking pan. Using the rest of the seasoning add that to the vegetables. Place them in the oven after the chicken has cooked for about 20 to 25 minutes because these vegetables will not take long to cook. You can definitely cook the chicken and the vegetables together if you'd like. I just like my vegetables to be firm.

CRISPY AND TENDER BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Arrange chicken thighs on prepared baking sheet.
• Combine garlic salt, onion salt, oregano, thyme, paprika, and pepper together in a small container with a lid. Close the lid and shake container until spices are thoroughly mixed. Sprinkle spice mixture liberally over chicken thighs.
• Bake chicken in the preheated oven until skin is crispy, thighs are no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
