Roasted Cajun Chicken


CHICKEN:
1. Wash and pat dry 4 chicken leg quarters. Make sure that the skin is still intact.
2. In a large re-sealable bag place the chicken and marinate in fresh milk preferably overnight but 4 hours would do just fine.
3. Pre-heat the oven for 250-275'F
4. After marinating drain the chicken legs pat dry and place in a bowl.
5. Cut some shallow slits into the meat and make sure not to go through to the skin and place thin slices of garlic.
6. Coat the entire chicken with the Cajun Spice and place on a rack.
7. Roast in the oven for 45-60 minutes and brush with an olive oil, onion powder and dried Rosemary mixture every 10 minutes.
8. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes and coat with the oil mixture before serving.

CAJUN SPICE MIX:
In a bowl mix the following ingredients: ¼ cup salt, 2 tbsp Cayenne Pepper, 2 tbsp Sweet Paprika, 1 tbsp Bay Leaf, 1/8 tsp cloves, ¼ tsp dried Thyme, 1 tsp Chili powder, 1½ tsp dried Basil, 1 tbsp Garlic powder, 2 tbsp Onion Powder, ½ tbsp black pepper, ½ tbsp white pepper, 1/8 tsp Celery salt and ¼ tsp dried mustard.
