Ingredients
  

Chicken and Seasoning
  • 5-6 large Chicken Quarters with skin (about 1 pound)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon mild paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon Oil

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking tray

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (218 degrees C).
  2. Pat the chicken quarters dry thoroughly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the spices and oil. Mix them well. Add the chicken pieces and use your hands to coat each piece completely with the mixture.
  4. For better flavor, let the chicken rest for 1 hour, or marinate it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. If you are short on time, you can bake immediately. If you marinated, bring the chicken close to room temperature before baking.
  5. Arrange the chicken on a baking tray. Apply any remaining marinade from the bowl over the chicken. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees F (74 degrees C). For crispier skin, move the tray to the uppermost rack and broil for 2 minutes at the end of the cooking time.
