ROAST CHICKEN LEGS WITH LOTS OF GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Place chicken in an 13x9" baking dish and season generously all over with salt. Add garlic, lemon, chile, bay leaves, and a few grinds of pepper. Pour in oil and toss everything to coat. Turn garlic heads cut side down so they are in contact with the baking dish (this will help them brown).
• Roast chicken, rotating pan once, until meat is almost falling off the bone, 75-90 minutes. Let chicken cool in pan 10 minutes, then serve with bread.

GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place the butter into a roasting pan, and melt in the oven. When butter is melted, swirl to coat the bottom of the roasting pan, and place the chicken drumsticks and thighs, potatoes, and unpeeled garlic cloves into the pan. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper; turn the chicken, potatoes, and garlic to coat with butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes, basting 3 times with pan drippings. Brush maple syrup over the chicken pieces, and spoon pan drippings over the potatoes.
• Return to oven, and bake until the chicken and potatoes are tender and browned, about 20 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into a thick part of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). To serve, squeeze garlic from the baked cloves, and spread the soft garlic over the chicken. Pour pan juices over chicken and potatoes.

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.
