👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- To Make Roasted Leg Quarters: ---
2. 2Prepare 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. 3Marinate. 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. 4Preheat 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. 5Brush 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. 6Brush 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. 7Bake 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. 8Rest the chicken for 5 minutes out of the pan and then serve with your preferred side dishes.
