Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while you prepare the chicken.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken quarters in a large bowl or a ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally for 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Arrange the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the chicken quarters skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  2. 5

    Bake the Chicken

    Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  3. 6

    Garnish

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
