LORI'S LEMON-PEPPER CHICKEN LEG QUARTERS



Lori's Lemon-Pepper Chicken Leg Quarters image

A simple twist (no pun intended) on a classic. I'm not a fan of chicken breast as the meat can be bland so I use the leg quarters for greater flavor. Quick and delicious lemon-pepper chicken. Hope you enjoy as much as I do! I like to serve this with garlic noodles, pan-seared asparagus, and buttered wheat rolls.
