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

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
⚙ 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
Scatter the onion and fennel over the bottom of the pan.
