Roasted chicken leg quarters

Tonight I'm making one of my favorite and easiest dinners: roasted chicken leg quarters and buttered bow tie pasta (farfalle).

This isn't a real recipe so I don't have any measurements and it's really very easy to use different seasonings. First I coat the bottom of the roasting pan with olive oil and then I add the chicken leg quarters. I choose to leave the skin on to cook but you can remove it if you want. Second I season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano and paprika for color and about 1/2 cup of chicken broth. I've used water when I'm out of broth and it comes out fine. Bake it for about an hour at 400* and don't forget to baste the chicken a couple of times while cooking.

I'm making pasta tonight but if you'd like you can also quarter some potatoes and add them to the baking dish along with the chicken and squeezing the juice of a lemon over the chicken also adds great flavor. Play around with your favorite seasonings. You really can't go wrong!
