LEMON-ROSEMARY-GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN QUARTERS
This is an awesome toss-together main dish with five-star results. I didn't have have a whole roaster chicken but wanted all the flavor and crispy chicken skin one would expect from a roasted chicken. It turned out juicy, tender and seasoned just right with perfectly browned, crisp skin to top it all off. I roasted the chicken atop a layer of quartered potatoes and onions, which turned out tender and full of flavor from cooking in the chicken juices. My hubby declared this finger-licking, extra napkin-needing delicious, and I hope you enjoy too!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a small roasting pan or other metal baking dish, arrange pealed and quartered potatoes. Drizzle with 1 tbs. olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper. Toss to coat, arrange in a single layer then arrange chunks of onions throughout the potatoes.
- Rub chicken quarters with 1/4 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoons pepper, chicken bouillon powder, rosemary, garlic and olive oil.
- Arrange quarters atop potatoes in roasting pan, drizzle chicken and potatoes sticking out from underneath with melted butter. Then squeeze the lemon atop all.
- Roast uncovered for 35-40 minutes at 400°F.
- Then increase oven temperature to 425 F and roast for another 10-15 minutes until skin is lightly browned and crispy, and juices run clear from the thickest part between the drumstick and thigh.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN
For pull-apart tender chicken with crisp, deeply spiced skin, rub it with a spicy-sweet mix and roast it low and slow while you're doing something else. Because this chicken is cooked at a moderately low temperature, the spices will bloom but not burn, and the chicken fat will render slowly and completely (which means you don't need any oil). The smoky rub in this recipe will turn the chicken skin into what tastes like a barbecue potato chip, but you can use other spice blends, too, like garam masala or Montreal steak seasoning. Just be sure your mix includes sugar for browning and salt for accentuating flavors. Whole chicken legs (with the thigh and drumstick attached) provide a more generous portion of juicy meat and skin that shatters, but a mix of drumsticks and bone-in thighs work, too.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper and cayenne with a fork or your fingers. Rub the spice mix all over the chicken. (You can do this step 1 to 12 hours ahead. Refrigerate uncovered, then bring to room temperature before cooking.)
- Place the chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin side up. Bake, without flipping, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Eat the chicken with pan drippings spooned over top.
Tips:
- Use fresh rosemary and garlic for the best flavor. Dried herbs and garlic powder can be used in a pinch, but they won't have the same intensity of flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. If the chicken legs are too close together, they won't cook evenly and the skin won't get crispy.
- Roast the chicken legs at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
- Baste the chicken legs with the rosemary garlic butter halfway through cooking. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken legs immediately with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and a simple salad are all great options.
Conclusion:
Crispy baked rosemary garlic chicken legs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The rosemary and garlic flavors are a perfect complement to the chicken, and the crispy skin is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a simple and flavorful chicken dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
