Step 1

Set chicken out about 30 minutes before cooking. (So they will be close to room temp.)

Step 2

Preheat oven to (For easy clean-up, I like to line a 9 x 13 dish with foil. You can also use a sheet pan, but I will not mention how many times I have spilled the chicken juices in my oven and on the floor!)

Step 3

Before starting, give your a sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 4

Generously coat foil/pan with oil.

Step 5

Mix the flour and all the spices in a large bowl.

Step 6

Dip the leg quarters in the bowl and generously coat chicken with the flour/spice mixture.

Step 7

Place leg quarters, skin side down on the foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Turn chicken and reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake 35-45 minutes longer or until chicken is done. (If you have a digital thermometer, go ahead and place it in the chicken at this point and bake the chicken quarters until they reach an internal temp of 165 degrees.)
