Bring the leg quarters to room temperature (about 20–30 minutes out of the fridge) for more even cooking.
Pat dry thoroughly and season generously with sea salt, black pepper, or your favourite BBQ rub, herbs and spices.
For roasting: Preheat oven to 200°C (fan 180°C / Gas 6). Place on a baking tray, drizzle with oil, and roast for 35–45 minutes until the skin is golden and the internal temperature reaches 75°C.
For BBQ or grilling: Cook over medium heat for 25–35 minutes, turning regularly, until charred on the outside and fully cooked through (75°C internal temperature).
For slow cooking or stews: Braise or simmer gently for 1.5–2 hours until the meat is falling off the bone.
Always check doneness with a meat thermometer, juices should run clear and the thickest part (away from the bone) should reach 75°C.
Rest for 5 minutes before serving to keep the meat juicy.
If frozen, thaw slowly in the fridge first. See our freezing & defrosting guide.
Serve with classic sides, fresh salads, rice, or slaw – or try one of our favourite recipes for inspiration.
