π Top tip
Tips:
- Chicken is a staple protein in many households, and for good reason. It’s versatile, affordable, and can be used in a variety of different dishes.
- When it comes to cooking chicken quarters, it’s important to make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through to ensure it’s safe to eat. This can be done by checking the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer, which should read 165Β°F.
- While this recipe calls for olive oil and a variety of spices, you can also customize the seasoning to your liking. Add in some dried herbs like thyme or rosemary, or swap out the cayenne pepper for some smoked paprika for a different flavor profile.
- When serving your baked chicken quarters, consider pairing them with a side of roasted or steamed vegetables, a simple salad, or even some garlic mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days and reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick and easy meal later on.
