The Devil is in the Chicken - 6/5/11

4 whole chicken leg quarters (thigh and drumstick still attached)
McCormick's Smokehouse Maple Seasoning
Black pepper, granulated garlic
Hellman's Dijonnaise (creamy dijon mustard)
Sweet paprika
Olive oil or corn or canola oil


Season the chicken on both sides with the maple seasoning, the pepper and the garlic.  Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes or in the refrigerator for an hour.  Then squirt some dijonnaise on both sides of the chicken, and spread it around so the chicken is evenly coated.  The seasonings will mix with the dijonnaise.

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees and prepare a baking pan with a rack.  Place the chicken on the rack, sprinkle each piece with the paprika, and drizzle with a little oil .  Bake for 45 - 60 minutes or until done (juices run clear).  If the coating starts to brown too rapidly, lay a sheet of foil lightly over the chicken.
