This Maple Roasted Chicken Quarters recipe is a delicious and filling dinner for two this Valentine’s Day. These roasted chicken legs, cooked with roasted vegetables will leave you licking your fingers! You don’t have to restrict yourself to chicken legs either – thighs or wings work really well too.
Start by browning the chicken pieces in a skillet. Mix chopped carrots, potatoes, onion, and garlic with oil and salt and spread them evenly at the bottom of a casserole dish. Once the chicken has finished browning, transfer it to the top of the vegetables, skin side up. Brush evenly with maple syrup and sprinkle with thyme. Roast in the oven until cooked through.
To make the Maple Roasted Chicken Quarters, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 425 °F. Set a 8-inch dish aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces, skin side down. Brown on one side for 5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes until browned on the other side.
In a large bowl toss the chopped carrots, potatoes, onion and 6 unpeeled cloves of garlic with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and salt. Spread the coated veggies into the bottom of the casserole dish.
Place the browned chicken pieces on top of the vegetables, skin side up. Brush evenly with maple syrup and sprinkle with thyme leaves.
Roast in the oven for 35-45 minutes until the chicken reaches 165 °F internally.
Leave to rest for a few minutes before serving.
