Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Mix the oil, garlic, paprika, hot paprika, cumin, salt and black pepper and rub the mixture into the chicken.
💡Dry the chicken before seasoning so the mixture clings to the skin; a longer marinade gives deeper color and flavor.

Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
3
Arrange the chicken in the pan in a single layer, with space between the pieces.

Bake uncovered 45 minutes, until the skin is browned and blistered in spots and the juices run clear. Halfway through, turn the pieces.

💡In a single layer with space around each piece, the hot air surrounds it and the skin browns and crisps; crowded pieces steam in their own juices.
💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
5
Drizzle the lemon juice over the top.
6
