Chicken Quarters With Herbs And Garlic

- 40 minutes to make
- Serves 4-6
This is one of my go to roasted chicken recipes when I have fresh thyme and rosemary. I love to make it with leg quarters, but a whole chicken quartered or just thighs are great too!
Ingredients
- 4 chicken leg Quarters, skin on (or 6-8 thighs) shopping list
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced shopping list
- 2 lrg rosemary sprigs shopping list
- 4-5 thyme sprigs shopping list
- 1/4 tsp sweet paprika shopping list
- 1/4 cup olive oil shopping list
- juice of one lemon shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
How to make it
- Trim any excess fat or over-hanging skin from the chicken pieces, cut 3-4 slashes into the top of each piece and place it into a large Ziploc bag.
- Pull the herbs from the stems and finely chop, add this into a small bowl with the minced garlic and remaining ingredients and stir to combine. (Some lemons can be very tart, so adjust with more olive oil and seasonings to taste.)
- Pour the dressing over the chicken and mix so the marinade is rubbed into the chicken. Refrigerate for at least an hour or up to 4 hours. If you want to do this the night before, leave out the lemon juice and add it 1-4 hours before cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 400F convection or 425F reg. oven. On a greased roasting rack over a lined baking sheet, place the chicken and any remaining marinade over top. To stop the fallen bits from burning and smoking add some water to the bottom of the pan.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken registers 165F internally, near the thigh bone. And Enjoy!
