Easy Baked Chicken – When You Don’t Want To Cook

This Easy Baked Chicken couldn’t be easier. It’s especially good for those days when you don’t really feel like cooking but must feed the family.

I’m always trying to find ways to cook cheap chicken leg quarters. There’s practically no prep work this recipe!

Just sprinkle the quarters with the seasoning and pop in the oven. If you line the cooking pan with foil then there’s no cleanup either. Now what’s better than that?

I suggest Cavender’s Greek Seasoning here because it’s a favorite of mine, but any seasoning your family likes will work just fine.

The bottom line is that it’s delicious! The skin is particularly yummy and the chicken itself comes out very succulent and tender.
