Ingredients

4 chicken leg quarters with skin
2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning
1.5 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried parsley
2 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions

Season the chicken leg quarters with lemon-pepper, salt, and parsley. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken leg quarters, skin-side down, for about 5 minutes per side to crisp the skin. Transfer the chicken to a roasting pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the juices run clear and the chicken is no longer pink. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
