  • Preheat oven to 450°F
  • Place chicken legs or quarters skin-side up on baking tray
  • Sprinkle lightly with salt, garlic powder, paprika and basil
  • When oven is done preheating, put chicken pan in oven (middle shelf is best)
  • Turn oven down to 350°F
  • Bake for 1 hour 10 minutes (assuming average-size chicken legs)

This works best with organic free-range chicken, which tends to have more taste than the typical grocery store fare.

Formal Description

This recipe is a time-honored family tradition we have been making for over 5 years now, handed down endlessly across the ages from one generation to itself. Its illustrious history would fill this entire sentence with words.

Notes

2015-07-06 For chicken from Fickle Creek (very large quarters; via Farmers' Market), 1:10 at 325°F seemed to be about right (plus a brief interlude at 1 hour to check for done-ness -- juice was still coming out slightly red when poked).
