Ingredients
  

  • 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 the oven to 400 degrees F (218 degrees C).
  2. Pat the chicken quarters dry well.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add all the spices and oil. Mix them well. Add the chicken and use your hands to coat each piece thoroughly.
  4. For better flavor, let the chicken rest for 1 hour, or marinate in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. If resting, bring the chicken close to room temperature before baking.
  5. Arrange the chicken in a baking tray. Apply any remaining marinade in the bowl to the chicken. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees F (74 degrees C). Towards the end, broil at the uppermost rack for 2 minutes to crisp the skin.
