Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken leg quarters
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon, zested and juiced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until well-combined to form the marinade.
Step 3
Pat the chicken leg quarters dry with paper towels, then add them to the marinade bowl. Toss the chicken thoroughly in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Step 4
Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
Step 5
Place the marinated chicken leg quarters skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 6
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should read 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.
