How do you cook chicken quarters on a gas grill?

To cook chicken quarters on a gas grill, follow these steps:

Ingredients:

- Chicken quarters, skin on

- Olive oil

- Salt

- Pepper

- Seasonings of your choice (e.g., garlic powder, paprika, thyme)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken quarters under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove any excess fat.

2. Preheat the grill: Preheat your gas grill to medium-high (350°F - 375°F).

3. Season the chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken quarters, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken to ensure that it is evenly coated with the seasoning. You can also add other seasonings of your choice at this point, such as garlic powder, paprika, or thyme.

4. Place the chicken on the grill: Arrange the chicken quarters on the preheated grill grate. Place them skin side down first.

5. Cook the chicken: Cover the grill and cook the chicken for about 15 minutes or until the skin is browned and crispy.

6. Flip the chicken: Flip the chicken quarters using tongs and continue to grill them for another 10-15 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through. An internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) should be reached in the thickest part of the chicken. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.

7. Let the chicken rest: Remove the chicken quarters from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, making the chicken more succulent and flavorful.

Enjoy your delicious grilled chicken quarters! You can serve them with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
