Garlic Roasted Chicken Leg Quarters

Ingredients:

    • 4 pastured Chicken Leg Quarters
    • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1 teaspoon chili powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (optional during Pesach)
    • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1/2 cup pastured Chicken Broth (or 1/4 cup chicken broth and 1/4 cup white wine)
    1. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Lightly oil a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking dish or line it with foil. 
    2. Combine the garlic, oregano, salt, chili powder, cumin, and black pepper in a small bowl. Add the olive oil and mix well. Use a mortar and pestle to form a paste or mash it with a fork.
    3. Arrange the leg quarters in the prepared baking pan and rub the garlic-spice mixture over each piece.
    4. Pour 1/2 cup of chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish. If desired, use 1/4 cup of chicken broth with 1/4 cup of dry white wine instead.
    5. Bake the chicken, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the chicken registers at least 165 F on a meat thermometer.
