"If you aren't a skin lover, I'm sure this would be just as delicious on boneless skinless too, just with less of a crispy result. For me, I can't eat chicken without skin on it, it's the best. The combination of seasonings lead to a rich flavor, with a crispy outside and tender and juicy on the inside. A great chicken dinner perfect for any weeknight and with only a handful of ingredients!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a small bowl whisk together oil, paprika, seasoning salt, thyme and garlic powder. Lay chicken on a rack in a large roasting pan. Using a pastry brush, brush liberally both sides with marinade. Season the skin side with ground pepper. Place the pan, (skin side up) in the fridge for 4 hours or even better 24 hours (this will give the chicken a better flavor).
Step 2
Preheat oven 400. Bake for 50 minutes, until juices run clear. Half way during cooking time, spoon some pan drippings over the chicken, and then again right before serving.
