BAKED HONEY-GLAZED CHICKEN
When I was a young girl, this was my oldest sister's Sunday dinner. The tradition has continued, as I make this dish twice a month and my four daughters serve their families with this favorite dish. It has an old-fashioned subtle flavor and the chicken is crisp and brown. -Pat Dube, Phoenix, Arizona

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).

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.

ROASTED ORANGE ROSEMARY HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN
This is always a hit when I make it for dinner parties and Boxing Day dinner because the chicken is always fall-off-the-bone juicy and people love the glaze. People always go for seconds! You may quarter 2 chickens instead if you aren't able to get just legs from your butcher, but I find the legs are juicier and save money. Serve this dish with fragrant rice and dilled carrots or roasted asparagus.

Steps:
- Sprinkle chicken with salt and place in a large glass or plastic bowl.
- Whisk together honey, orange juice, butter, rosemary, orange zest, and garlic. Pour orange mixture over chicken; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place chicken legs in a single layer in a roasting pan; pour orange mixture over chicken.
- Roast for 30 minutes in the preheated oven; reduce temperature to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Baste chicken with pan juices every 20 minutes until chicken is a deep orange brown color, no longer pink at the bone, and juices run clear, about 90 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken quarters: Look for quarters that are evenly sized and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid quarters that are too small or have a lot of bones.
- Pat the chicken quarters dry: This will help the glaze adhere to the chicken and give it a crispy skin.
- Make sure the glaze is evenly distributed: Use a pastry brush to evenly coat the chicken quarters with the glaze. Be sure to get the glaze into all the nooks and crannies.
- Bake the chicken quarters at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the glaze and give the chicken a crispy skin.
- Let the chicken quarters rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken and make it more tender.
Conclusion:
Honey glazed baked chicken quarters are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is tender and juicy, with a crispy skin and a sweet and savory glaze. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
