  • Trim off any excess fat, pieces of bone or cartilage. Spread out the skin on the chicken so it lays flat. Lightly toss with avocado oil then season liberally on all sides of the chicken leg quarters
  • Place leg quarters in a cast iron skillet and bake for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees f. Next add sliced lemon and butter to the pan in between the chicken quarters. Continue cooking in the oven until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 175-185 degrees F.
  • Ladle some of the juices in the bottom of the pan over the chicken and garnish with fresh parsley.
