Préparation

1. 1

   --- To Make Roasted Leg Quarters: ---

2. 2

   Prepare the marinade. Mix the mustard powder, garlic powder, onion powder, sweet paprika, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, olive oil, and ½ teaspoon sea salt in a small bowl to form a paste.

3. 3

   Marinate. Rub the marinade all over the chicken under the skin (pull with your hands and rub the marinade inside). Marinate for 2-3 hours or even better overnight.

4. 4

   Preheat oven to 400°F / 200°C. Meanwhile, remove the chicken from the fridge and allow it to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes while you preheat the oven. Pat dry the chicken with paper towels.

5. 5

   Brush a baking pan or tray with olive oil. Add the chicken on top. Alternatively, you can place the chicken on a rack (See Notes below).

6. 6

   Brush or rub the skin of the chicken lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle the remaining ½ teaspoon of sea salt on the skin as well as the remaining 1 teaspoon of oregano.

7. 7

   Bake for 35 to 45 minutes on the oven's middle rack. Or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C and the skin is nice and crispy.

8. 8

   Rest the chicken for 5 minutes out of the pan and then serve with your preferred side dishes.
