Key Tools
Recipe Instructions
1
Season the Chicken:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large mixing bowl, place the chicken legs. Using the TempPro APG710 Electric Salt & Pepper Grinder Set, add freshly ground kosher salt and black pepper. Add garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, and olive oil. Rub the seasoning blend thoroughly over the chicken legs to ensure full coverage under and over the skin.
2
Insert the Probes: Insert your probe of the TempPro TempSpike CORE TP970 Smart Wireless Meat Thermometer horizontally into the thickest part of the chicken leg, making sure to avoid touching the bone for an accurate reading. Set your target doneness in the TempPro App.
3
Assemble the Sheet Pan & Roast: In a large baking dish or rimmed baking sheet, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper using the TempPro APG710 Electric Salt & Pepper Grinder Set. Spread them evenly. Scatter the sliced red onion wedges and broccolini around the sweet potatoes. Arrange the seasoned chicken legs on top of the bed of vegetables. Place the baking pan into the preheated oven. Roast until your TempPro app alerts you that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached the target doneness.
4
Whip Up the Honey-Ranch Yogurt Dip: While the chicken roasts, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, ranch seasoning, and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
5
Rest, Plate & Enjoy: Once the alarm sounds, carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes to lock in all the natural juices. Plate the roasted chicken quarters alongside the tender roasted vegetables and serve with a generous dollop of the honey-ranch dip on the side.
