    Description

    Chicken leg quarters are ideal for oven roasting since dark meat doesn't dry out as quickly. That makes this economical option perfect for prep-ahead meals! Use the cooked chicken for a plethora of other dishes such as White Cheddar Mac Dinner, Chicken Bagel Pizzas and Quick Chicken Ramen Soup.
