Total Time: 1 hr 25 mins
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 chicken leg quarters, with bone and skin
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 lemons, halved
- 4 teaspoons dried oregano
- 4 teaspoons dried basil
- 4 teaspoons garlic powder
- 4 teaspoons salt
- 4 teaspoons ground black pepper
Steps
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place chicken legs in a deep, large baking dish. Massage 1 tablespoon olive oil onto each chicken leg. Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken. Arrange lemons around the chicken.
- Mix oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; sprinkle evenly over each chicken leg, flipping the chicken to season both sides.
- Cook chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
