Step by stepInstructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne.
Rub the seasoning all over the chicken pieces with the olive oil.
Scatter the onion in a roasting pan, arrange the chicken on top, and pour the broth around.
Bake 55-65 minutes, basting once, until the chicken is golden and reaches 165°F.
Rest 10 minutes, then serve with the pan drippings spooned over.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Pat the chicken dry before seasoning so the spice rub sticks. The onion and broth create a built-in gravy.
