Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon White pepper
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground thyme
- 1 teaspoon Ground sage
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Celery salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 8 pieces Chicken pieces (bone-in, skin-on)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, black pepper, ground thyme, ground sage, kosher salt, dried oregano, dried basil, celery salt, ground coriander, and brown sugar. Mix well to ensure an even blend of spices.
Place the chicken pieces on a clean work surface or in a large bowl. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Rub the vegetable oil onto all sides of the chicken pieces. This will help the seasoning stick to the chicken and promote even browning.
Generously sprinkle the seasoning blend over the chicken pieces, ensuring all sides are thoroughly coated. Gently press the seasoning into the chicken for better adhesion.
Place the seasoned chicken pieces on a wire rack set over a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. This allows air to circulate for more even cooking.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven is heating, let the chicken sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to allow the seasoning to meld with the meat.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer placed in the thickest part of the meat.
For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5-7 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the chicken warm with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
