How to cook chicken? Completely new to cooking...?

I am completely new to cooking, living on my own now. How do I cook chicken legs and thighs (I guess that's called quarter chickens?). I only have a cast iron frying pan. Do I need to tenderize it? marinate it? What do I use?
I remember I tried cooking meat in the past (just kind of put it in the pan, and it came out all rubbery...maybe I didn't cook it long enough?) Do I need spices? Any help or direction would help greatly!
 
Chicken tandoori recipe

At first take a chicke n and add salt, ginger garlic paste i table spoon, chili powder 1 tbsp,garam masala powder 1/2 tbsp [ you will get that in the market ], coriander powder 2 tbsp, cumin powder 1 tbsp, 1/2 a cup yogurt [ curd ] turmeric 2 pinch marinate with all these ingredients.

Take a skillet or frying pan add 4 tbsp of oil and then add the chicken one by one let it cook 8 minutes on each side and then turn the other side. If you have oven in the kitchen you can keep the chicken and finish it in the oven for about 30 minutes at 350 degree C. If you don't have its okay you can cook in the stove.

enjoy the recipe

best of luck
 
im 13, my mom taught me how..

i usually use a grill, but u can use a frying pan, u need some oil to cook to chicken
spices: not need but i use seasoned salt and garlic powder
every once in a while (every 3-5 minutes )check to see if its cooked but cutting it all the way to the bone, if its all NOT pink then that means it is all the way cooked
