These chicken quarter recipes for dinner have so much flavor and will make for a delicious, easy weeknight dinner. Add a few simple seasonings such as lemon pepper seasoning, chili powder, or another seasoning mix to give the dark meat in the thigh quarters an amazing flavor profile.

The chicken quarter consists of a thigh with a drumstick in tact to the tight as well as and part of the back of the chicken still in place. Without the chicken breast, this combination of chicken parts is called a chicken quarter because it consists of about a quarter of the whole chicken.
A chicken quarter will be mainly dark meat. The thigh, leg, or drumstick, of the chicken, are used most and therefore a tougher but more flavorful cut of meat.
Dark meat chicken is done and safe to eat when an instant-read thermometer reaches a safe internal temperature of 165. Be sure to insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat without touching the bone.
