4chicken leg quarters (mine were 3 1/4 lbs or 1.5 kilos total)
1 1/2teaspoonssalt (2 if you like things salty)
1teaspoonhot or smoked paprika
1teaspoongranulated garlic
1/2teaspoonground black pepper
2tablespoonsolive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 °F (205 °C).
Place an oven-safe cooling rack on a baking tray big enough to fit all the chicken.
Stir together the spices in a little bowl.
Place the chicken on the cooling rack (in the pan) and drizzle the olive oil over the top.
Rub half the spice mix between the skin and the meat. Rub the other half on top and on the bottom of the chicken. On the bottom, there's just a little drumstick meat that you need to rub - no need to rub the bones.
Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the internal temperature is 185 °F (85 °C) and the skin is browned and crisp. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
If you have any leftovers, let them cool and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
