Recipe

• 1 in a roasting pan or a stainless steel, oven-safe skillet, arrange around a gorgeous chicken leg quarter (at room temperature): 4 wedges of lemon (unwaxed), unpeeled cloves of garlic (which will steam in their paper shells), slices of red onion (unpeeled as well, 'cause why bother?), and a few sprigs of thyme.
• 2 drizzle the melange with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• 3 at 425 degrees fahrenheit, roast the bird for 45 minutes—do not peek.
