CREOLE STYLE CHICKEN LEG QUARTERS #5FIX
5-Ingredient Fix Contest Entry. Just got inspired to make this dish based on the main ingredient - Simply potatoes - shredded hash browns. Creole seasoning and baking times can vary a bit based on the size of the chicken leg quarters used in this recipe. I did not want to do a breakfast dish.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- From the top side of each chicken leg quarters, make a pocket by using your fingers to separate the skin. Keep the skin intact at the bottom of the thigh. Rub the chicken leg quarters inside and outside with 2 teaspoons of Creole seasoning.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the Simply Potatoes - Shredded Hash Browns with the beaten egg and cream cheese. Reserve one cup of this mixture.
- Divide the remaining mixture into 4 portions and stuff the pockets of each chicken leg quarters. Gently pull the skin over to cover the mixture.
- Place chicken on baking pan. Top each chicken leg quarters with the reserved potato mixture. Sprinkle the prepared chicken with remaining 1 tsp Creole seasoning.
- Bake in oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hour depending on size of chicken leg quarters. About 10 minutes before being done, brush the chicken with liquids from the pan. Continue baking for another 10 minutes.

BAKED CHICKEN LEG QUARTERS
Chicken leg quarters are still fairly reasonable at the grocery store. Often, a single chicken thigh looks a little skimpy on a dinner plate. Leg quarters yield two or three extra bites, and they are visually very satisfying. Bonus: cooking with the bones included gives a lot of flavor. A simple, tasty seasoning blend makes prep a breeze.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
- Stir together smoked paprika, granulated garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Pat chicken leg quarters dry with paper towels. Gently lift the skin and sprinkle in 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of the seasoning blend, using a fingertip to spread the seasoning around under the skin. Brush both sides of each leg quarter with melted butter.
- Evenly sprinkle remaining spice mixture on both sides of each quarter and set cut side up onto the prepared sheet pan.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn the quarters cut side down using tongs and continue baking until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 20 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
- Turn on the broiler and broil each side of the chicken leg quarters until skin is nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Test for a final internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Transfer chicken leg quarters to a serving plate. Tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
