Ingredients
- 3–4 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, breasts)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
- 1½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Optional: lemon wedges or fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
- Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels.
- Toss chicken with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange chicken skin-side up on the baking sheet, spaced apart.
- Roast for 35–45 minutes, until skin is golden and internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with lemon wedges or fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- Use a mix of chicken pieces for variety in texture and flavor.
- For extra crisp skin, broil for the last 2–3 minutes.
- Use smoked paprika for a deeper flavor or Italian seasoning for more herbs.
- Add veggies like potatoes or carrots to the pan for a complete one-pan meal.
