hello viewers welcome to my channel cooking horizon by tess today i'll show you how to make oven roasted crispy chicken leg quarters the recipe is quite simple and straightforward using very little oil the chicken turns are extremely tender as well as rich in flavor while the skin becomes crisp but before we get to the recipe please don't forget to subscribe to my channel thank you to begin with you need four pieces of chicken leg quarters skin on washed and cleaned i'm using fairly bigger pieces now pet dry using paper towels one at a time leaving the skin on helps the meat stay moist and tender while in the oven now set them aside and preheat your oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit next prepare the seasoning mix in a small bowl and one and a half teaspoons of garlic powder 1 teaspoon of onion powder 1 teaspoon of lemon pepper seasoning this is the one that i used followed by one teaspoon of paprika smoked kind is preferred mix them all together and set aside next i'm going to extract that amount of fresh thyme leaves of the sprigs which would yield into about half a teaspoon of finely chopped fresh thyme you could use other forms of herbs instead such as rosemary or oregano depending on what flavor you like you could also go up and down on the amount you add if you use dried herbs use lesser in amount as they're often more potent and concentrated compared to the fresh herbs stir the herbs in into the prepared seasoning mix and set aside you need one to two tablespoons of melted salted butter i'm using 2 tablespoons microwave for 20 seconds take it out and stir to melt any remaining lumps instead you could also use olive oil or cooking oil place a large wire rack on top of a baking sheet now grease either manually or by spraying cooking oil or olive oil now place the chicken pieces on top of the wire racks inside down and space down brush melted butter over them it's important to note that use of wire rack would ensure even cooking as it allows air to circulate all around then season with some ground sea salt on the skin side i'm not going to brush any butter as the skin already has a fair amount of fat layer attached to it that would keep the chicken moist as it cooks doing so also helps the chicken skin to become more crispy now season with fresh ground black pepper please be generous with all your seasonings for a rich flavor and a better taste after that season with the spice and herb mix that we set aside earlier just in case you don't have a wire rack you may use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and then grease it dab with your fingertips for even spreading now turn all the chicken pieces spacing them out is very important for the hot air circulation in the oven now season the skin side very very generously with the same salt and spices as we used for the other side please make sure that every part of the skin is covered with enough seasoning after this place them in the oven in the middle rack and bake at 425 degrees fahrenheit for 35 to 40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees fahrenheit before taking them out of the oven use a meat thermometer at the thickest part of the thigh to check the temperature taking care not to touch the bone if the skin doesn't turn out crispy enough broil four extra two minutes in the oven once the chicken is done and out of the oven let it rest for about five to ten minutes before you serve however please check the description box below for the list of ingredients and any necessary notes on the recipe before i say goodbye please don't forget to subscribe to my channel hit the bell icon for instant notifications every time i upload a video like comment and share my videos thank you
