Ingredients
2 Chicken Leg Quarters, bone in, skin on1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened1 tablespoon seasoning (I use Penzey's BBQ 3000)salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly brush a rimmed baking sheet and the chicken pieces with butter. Lay chicken, skin side up, on sheet; season with salt and pepper and any additional spice you'd like to use.

Roast chicken 40 minutes, basting occasionally with pan juices, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees. Transfer to a platter; loosely tent with foil. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

     I switched out the butter for olive oil and used finely chopped garlic on top. - 10/3/16

     I am another Penzey fan, they really have great spices and herbs. Glad to see a recipe with their product. Love to make these leaving skin on to cook and then off to eat, (for me anyway) Great recipe. Resting meat is a key for 10-15 mins. Thank you - 3/5/17

     The recipe calls to cut the lags in two but the picture shows a whole leg
    I find this deceptive unless I did not understand the instructions which means they should be cleared

     We always use oil instead of butter in recipes and buy our spices from penzy's too - 3/25/21

     My chicken put out lots of liquid; maybe I need to dry more before putting on pan? - 3/15/21

     Will definitely try this, adding seasoned carrots and potatoes tossed in olive oil to the pan for a complete meal. - 10/3/20
  • MILPAM3
     Making this for a crowd would be a better use of energy. Seems like a waste to heat up the oven for just two pieces of chicken. - 9/15/20
