  • While the potatoes roast place a large pan on the stove over medium heat. Season the quicken quarters with the garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add the olive oil to the heated pan and sear the chicken, skin side down.
  • Once the potatoes are finished, turn the oven down to 375, set the chicken quarters into the pan skin side up, and place in the oven until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 173.

  • Add the fresh dill and toss together. Add the dressing 2 tbsp at a time and toss until sufficiently covered. You may not use it all.
