To give the chicken even more flavor, you may use butter instead of cooking oil for pan-searing. I try to stick to powders as they seem to work best. Store in an airtight container until ready to use. Just be careful with herbs that consist of large pieces, they tend to burn in the oven. Cajun Seasoning In a small bowl, stir together all the spices for cajun seasoning. I’ve tried using Creole and Cajun spice mixes with great results. You can vary the seasoning mix in this recipe and use what you like. Dark meat takes heat much better than white chicken meat. That’s when they become fall-off-the-bone tender, while still being juicy and moist inside. To be exact, they need to be cooked to about 185F – 190F. Some may disagree, but chicken leg quarters, which consist of chicken drumsticks and thighs, just taste better when they are cooked way past the safe temperature of 165F. Personally, I don’t feel the need to brine the chicken in this recipe as it already gets so much flavor and the dark meat stays moist and juicy very well on its own. Unlike the Crispy Oven Roasted Chicken Breast, chicken leg quarters don’t have to be brined, but you can if you want. This recipe is a sibling of my popular Crispy Oven Roasted Chicken Breast recipe with a modified seasoning mix. With most of the fat rendered out, it turns thin and crispy in the oven.

That beautifully caramelized skin is just so tasty. Ingredients 6 garlic cloves, pressed or grated 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, grated 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil 3 tablespoons. There is a lot of flavor coming from the rub alone, but pan-searing, followed by oven-roasting, adds a ton of extra flavor. This chicken leg quarters recipe is by far one of the tastiest chicken recipes.
