Roasted Chicken Quarters With Garlic and Herbs

By Addie

The combination of lemon and herbs, along with loads of garlic, help make this easy baked chicken extra-flavorful. It's a great dish to serve for an everyday family meal, or make it for Sunday dinner.

Ingredients

• Juice of 2 lemons, about 5 to 6 tablespoons
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil or canola oil
• 1 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried leaf parsley
• 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
• 6 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 chicken, about 3 1/2 to 4 pounds, quartered*
• Fresh ground black pepper
• Salt

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 375°.

Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, herbs, seasoning, and garlic.

Wash chicken and pat dry; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss the chicken with the first mixture; arrange in a roasting pan. Bake for about 1 1/2 hours, turning about halfway through. When chicken is thoroughly cooked, juices will run clear when pierced with a fork.

EXCELLENT! Family favorite. Easy and quick to prepare. Fix it and forget it...comes out of the oven perfect every time.

MY FAMILY LOVE THIS SO MUCH THAT THEY ARE BEGGIN ME TO MAKE THIS AGAIN! PS: ADD SOME LEMON ZEST TO BRING IT UP TO ANOTHER LEVEL OF GREATNESS!

YUM! YUM! Easy too! Thanks to the person who recommended to cook this dish on convection at 425 for 30 minutes. This really worked out nicely. I didn't have chicken quarters on hand but used boneless, skinless chicken breast. The chicken came out delicious, very moist and full of flavor - will definitely keep and use this recipe again.

Delicious

I'm not much of a cook and it's starting to bug my husband, so I'm always on the look out for easy yet tasty meals I can make. This was a big hit. Normally, when I bake chicken it never browns nicely and the flavor is bland because I don't really know how to use spices. This was a HUGE hit and my husband and nephew (who doesn't like anything) loved it and went back for seconds. This gave me the flavor of restaurants that I always wondered how to get and it was so easy. The olive oil (at least I guess it was the olive oil) gave it a beautiful brown color. I was impressed with myself! Thanks to this website and recipes like this my husband will no longer be complaining about my cooking (LOL!!!) Please keep the recipes coming!

GREAT ROASTED CHICKEN!!! I did this recipe yesterday and my family loved it i was surprise how good it tasted it im definitly doing it again.

Easy and great flavors! Put this recipe together as listed in a few minutes and produced a dinner with excellent results. They only thing different I did was to use use my convection oven. Put the oven on "covention roast" at 425 and baked for 30 minutes. Will definately make this again.
