I am always on the lookout for new ways to enjoy chicken since I tend to eat plain grilled chicken breasts a lot. This recipe for chicken leg quarters utilizes the most flavorful and moist pieces of the chicken (and also cheapest!) and slow roasts them with lemon, garlic, and spices. Taste great warm right out of the oven and shredded as leftovers.
