Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 3 1/2 pound whole chicken (cut-up)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (rubbed)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Pepper, to taste
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • 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.
