Nothing is better than getting home after a long day of work than the smell of baked chicken and mashed potatoes! Pair it with a salad and you’ve got a healthy and hearty meat that will keep you feeling satisfied!
We personally like getting chicken quarters and separate them ourselves. For one, its typically cheaper that way. Two, the pieces are usually larger.
We always wait for them to go on sale at our favorite local discount grocery store. The last time we found them for $0.25 per pound! So we grabbed a ton and put them in our freezer. We’ve slowly been working through them, drastically lowering how much meat we’ve had to buy lately.
You’ll need a baking sheet and rack to keep the chicken out of its own grease as it cooks. That keeps it healthier and makes the skin extra crispy!
Ingredients
- 6 chicken quarters, separated (or 6 thighs and 6 drumsticks)
- 1 TBS black pepper
- 1 TBS onion powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp Kamodo Joe Poultry seasoning
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine all seasonings. Mix thoroughly.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Sprinkle seasoning on one side of chicken and rub in. Flip chicken and repeat for the other side.
- Place chicken on a baking rack on a baking sheet, skin side down.
- Bake 50 – 60 minutes, flipping halfway through. Chicken is done when the largest thigh reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
