Baked Chicken Leg Quarters

Last week,  I asked my hubby to stop by the store on his way home to pick up a few groceries.  I texted him a list that included several on-sale items.  One of the sale items I wanted was a family pack of chicken drumsticks.  (There is never any complaining when I make shake-n-bake style drumsticks- they are so good!!!.)

 He ended up bringing home chicken leg quarters. (Actually he didn't go to the right store, so those sale items? Yep, not on sale...)

I usually only buy chicken leg quarters when I know the hubby will have time to grill them for us.  I don't like cooking on the grill, and I wasn't sure how long to cook them in the oven.  I poked around on the internet a little bit and found a few cooking time recommendations, so I decided to go ahead and cook them in the oven rather than freeze them for later.

I'm glad I did, because they turned out just as good as drumsticks!  (and they were on sale for $.88 per lb, even cheaper than the drumsticks...)  Here is how I cooked them:

Baked Chicken Leg Quarters

Ingredients:
4 chicken leg quarters
olive/canola oil
1 cup of flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1.5 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 425.  For easy clean-up, line a 9 x 13 dish with foil.
Generously coat foil/pan with oil.

Mix the flour and all the spices in a large bowl.

Dip the leg quarters in the bowl and generously coat chicken with the flour/spice mixture.

Place leg quarters, skin side down on the foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Turn chicken and reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake 35-45 minutes longer or until chicken is done.

Serve and Enjoy!
