Combine all dried and powdered ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Add salt to the mixture and mix well.

Add about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of melted butter to the mixture and mix thoroughly.

Place the chicken leg quarters on a tray and pierce under the skin with a small knife to allow the spices to seep in.

Massage the spice mixture all over the chicken leg quarters, ensuring it gets under the skin as well.

Cover the chicken and let it sit for 1 hour to marinate.

Preheat the oven to 360°F (182°C).

Arrange the marinated chicken in a baking dish.

Use a pastry brush to apply leftover spices from the tray back onto the chicken.

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over the chicken.

Bake the chicken for 15 minutes, then baste with its own juices after 25 minutes.

Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes until fully cooked.

Baste the chicken with oil and juices to make it glossy before serving.
