Notes
- I baked these chicken leg quarters at 220 degrees Celsius or 425 degrees Fahrenheit in order to crisp up the chicken skin nicely. You can also baked them at 200 degrees Celsius or 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- I would perhaps keep an eye on them and extend the baking time by 5-10 minutes, just make sure they are nice and golden and super juicy.
