Maple-Spiced Roasted Chicken Quarters
Ingredients
  • 2 (3 pound) whole chickens, quartered
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Remove any excess skin from the chicken pieces to ensure even cooking. Combine brown sugar, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, dry mustard, celery seed, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken pieces evenly with the spice mixture, making sure to cover the underside of the breast pieces as well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for approximately 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
2
Combine maple syrup, yellow mustard, brown mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper in a bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth.
3
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
4
Arrange the chicken pieces skin-side up on the prepared pan, placing the breast pieces in the center and the leg quarters near the edges. Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then baste it with the maple glaze. Rotate the pan to ensure even cooking and roast for another 15 minutes, basting again with the maple glaze. Continue roasting until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, basting again if necessary. Use an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
