What’s in a whole chicken leg? The whole chicken leg is comprised of both the drumstick and the thigh. The joint between the drumstick and thigh is left intact. Chicken legs and thighs are an excellent source of many essential nutrients. Iron and zinc, which are important for a healthy immune system, are present in much higher quantities in dark meat than in white meat.



Cooked in a hot oven, these chicken leg quarters emerge with perfectly browned skin and juicy meat.

Ingredients

• Olive oil spray - extra-virgin
• 4 chicken leg quarters - drumstick and thigh
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt- or ½ teaspoon of any other salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper, or grease a 9 X 13-inch rimmed baking dish with olive oil.
• Place the chicken pieces in the prepared baking dish. Generously spray their tops with olive oil and sprinkle them with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme.
• Bake the chicken, uncovered, for 30 minutes. If at this point the tops are very browned but the inside hasn't yet reached 165°F, as measured by an instant-read thermometer not touching the bone, loosely cover the pan with foil and return it to the oven for 10-15 more minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
• Allow the chicken to rest for five minutes before serving.

Enjoy!
