Lori's Lemon-Pepper Chicken Leg Quarters Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Lori's Lemon-Pepper Chicken Leg Quarters Recipe). A simple twist (no pun intended) on a classic. I'm not a fan of chicken breast as the meat can be bland so I use the leg quarters for greater flavor. Quick and delicious lemon-pepper chicken. Hope you enjoy as much as I do! I like to serve this with garlic noodles, pan-seared asparagus, and buttered wheat rolls.

Lori's Lemon-Pepper Chicken Leg Quarters Recipe

Ingredients

4 chicken leg quarters with skin

2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning

1 ½ teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon dried parsley

2 teaspoons olive oil

Meat and Poultry

Directions

Step 1

Coat the leg quarters with lemon-pepper salt and parsley. Let sit in the refrigerator covered for 2 hours.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken skin-side down to help crisp the skin about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a roasting pan.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
