This baked chicken recipe with corn and watermelon is your new go-to summer dinner. It has fresh flavors, minimal prep, and maximum crowd appeal!

Even better, bone-in chicken can be such an economical dinner choice! I wait until it goes on sale and then stock up. I can often get chicken legs or chicken quarters for $0.99 a pound (or less), and it takes about 4 pounds to feed my family of 6.

Baked chicken leg quarters are also so easy, and require just a few simple spices to create a yummy flavor! If you prefer, you can grill or air fry the chicken instead of baking it — but it’s crowd-pleasing no matter what. You can leave the skin on the chicken if you like it better that way, but it bakes up crispy on the outside either way.
