Roasted Chicken Leg Quarters with Cherry Radishes and Mushrooms

These budget friendly roasted chicken quarters are easy to make, juicy and delicious. Use your favourite seasonings, though sea salt and freshly-cracked pepper are enough to bring out their natural aromas and flavours. You can store these in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat them in the oven to recrisp the skin. You can make this with a different cut of meat, but you will want to stick with a bone-in, skin-on cut because skin and bone add so much flavour to the dish.

4 / 1.2 kg Chicken leg quarters
1 tsp Black salt (or sea salt)
1 tsp Freshly milled peppers
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tbsp Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
3 tbsp Avocado oil (or olive oil)
250 g Brown button mushrooms, sliced
250 g White button mushrooms, sliced
1 bunch Cherry radishes
2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley and chives for garnishing
Zucchini noodles for serving, optional

Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Dry the chicken leg quarters with paper towels and rub with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Evenly sprinkle black salt, peppers, garlic powder and chopped rosemary on both sides of each quarter and gently pat to make the seasonings stick. Arrange the chicken leg quarters in a baking tray lined with a piece of aluminum foil.
Toss the mushrooms and cherry radishes with the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil. Season with salt and peppers. Add them to the chicken quarters in the baking tray.
Bake for about 50 minutes, or until the chicken skin is crispy and golden brown. Different ovens bake differently so the exact time may vary. Remove the chicken from the oven, let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
