Turn off the heat and cover the pot. Allow the chicken legs to cook in the hot water for roughly 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit for safe consumption. Use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of leg quarters, avoiding the bone, to determine the temperature.
Step 6. Cook the chicken leg quarters on each side for about 22 minutes, for a total cooking time of 45 minutes. Keep a close eye on the chicken for even cooking but try not to turn the chicken over too many times; once or twice is enough. Use a meat thermometer to check when the chicken leg quarters are done.
