👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Mix the oil, garlic, oregano, paprika, turmeric, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, salt and black pepper and rub the mixture into the chicken, including under the skin.
    💡Dry the chicken before seasoning so the mixture clings to the skin; a longer marinade gives deeper color and flavor.
  2. 2
    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. 3
    Arrange the chicken in the pan in a single layer, with space between the pieces.

  4. 4
    Bake uncovered 45 minutes, until the skin is crisp and the juices run clear.

    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
  5. 5
    Take the chicken out of the oven, let it rest 5 minutes.
