Pan-Fried Chicken Quarters

Image
Every time when I visit a Costco store, I buy two whole chickens.  They are usually 99 cents per pound, which is a superb deal.  Upon butchering the chickens, I make stock with the carcasses and this dish.  This dish is quite easy to make and when deglazing the pan, you can make different sauces depending on what you feel like for the meal. The Recipe The Skillet A 10" cast iron skillet. Ingredients Chicken quarters, deboned.   I usually butcher two chickens and get four quarters.  You can cook as many chicken quarters as you want.  Deboned legs and thighs work well too. Salt Black pepper Shallots Garlic Green Onions Slices of ginger Any spices of your choice Instructions Add a bit of oil, no more than a teaspoon, into a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Pan-fry the chicken quarters.  Start with the skin side down.  I usually start with one first so the rendered oil covers the whole pan.  After that, place as many quarters in as possible....
