Herb-Infused Roasted Chicken Quarters with Savory Spices

Ingredients

- 4 chicken quarters (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Herb Blend: In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped sage, thyme, and rosemary with the paprika, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a fragrant herb blend.

3. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken quarters dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil to lightly coat. Evenly sprinkle the herb blend over the chicken quarters, pressing gently to ensure the seasoning adheres to the skin and meat.

4. Arrange for Roasting: Place the seasoned chicken quarters skin-side up on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are not touching to allow for even cooking.

5. Roast the Chicken: Place the tray in the preheated oven. Roast for approximately 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.

6. Rest Before Serving: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute for perfectly juicy chicken.
