- Yield 4 servings
- Time 1 hour 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 teaspoons dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- A heaping 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
- 4 chicken leg quarters (about 2 ½ to 3 pounds), patted dry
Preparation
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper and cayenne with a fork or your fingers. Rub the spice mix all over the chicken. (You can do this step 1 to 12 hours ahead. Refrigerate uncovered, then bring to room temperature before cooking.)
- Place the chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin side up. Bake, without flipping, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Eat the chicken with pan drippings spooned over top.
