Description

Juicy, flavorful bone-in chicken with crispy skin, perfect for family dinners or meal prep.


Ingredients

  • Bone-in chicken pieces
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic powder
  • Paprika
  • Herbs such as thyme or rosemary (optional)


Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

3. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

4. Sear the chicken pieces skin-side down for about 5–7 minutes until golden brown.

5. Flip the chicken over, add any herbs if desired, and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

6. Roast for 25–30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

7. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.


Notes

Dry the chicken thoroughly before seasoning to help the skin crisp up.

Use an oven-safe skillet or a Dutch oven for best results.

Adjust the seasoning blend to your preference by adding onion powder, chili flakes, or smoked paprika.

Perfect for meal prep—store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
