Classic Baked Chicken Pieces
  1. Preheat oven to 400˚F.

  2. Take chicken out of the fridge 20 minutes before you’re ready to cook.

  3. Lightly grease a baking sheet or a baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

  4. Pat dry the chicken pieces with paper towels.

  5. Grease chicken pieces with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil.

  6. In a small mixing bowl combine salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onions powder, thyme, and oregano; mix to combine.

  7. Sprinkle chicken pieces with the prepared seasoning; rub it all around.

  8. Transfer chicken to previously prepared baking dish, and arrange them chicken skin-side up. Leave a little bit of space in between the chicken pieces.

  9. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

  10. Lower temperature to 350˚F, and continue to cook for 10 to 20 more minutes, or until internal temperature of the chicken registers at 165˚F. I highly recommend to use an Instant Read Meat Thermometer for accuracy.

  11. If you’d like a crispier browned skin, place chicken under the broiler the last 3 to 5 minutes.

  12. Remove from oven.

  13. Transfer chicken pieces to a serving plate.

  14. Tent a piece of foil over the chicken and let rest for 8 to 10 minutes before cutting.

  15. Garnish with parsley and serve.
