Take a chicken leg quarter, noting that one side is skinless and the leg has skin.

Empty most of the leftover green chimichurri into a resealable bag with the chicken leg quarter.

Add a little bit of extra red wine vinegar to the bag to make the chimichurri runnier.

Place the chicken leg quarter in the bag and shake off most of the excess chimichurri.

Prepare a baking pan lined with foil and add a small potato to it for roasting.

Cover the chicken leg quarter with foil and place it in a preheated oven at 350°F.

Bake covered for 30 minutes, then increase the temperature to 400°F and bake covered for another 30 minutes.

After that, bake uncovered at 400°F for 15 minutes.

Turn off the oven and leave the chicken in there as it finishes cooking.

Check the potatoes, which should be nice and roasted.
