Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Mix the oil, garlic, paprika, lemon juice, lemon zest, orange juice and zest, honey, rosemary, thyme, 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.
2
Marinate the chicken in the mixture at least 1 hour, or up to a few hours in the fridge.
3
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.
4
Arrange the chicken in the pan in a single layer, with space between the pieces.

5
Bake uncovered 40 minutes, until the chicken starts to turn golden.

💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
6
Brush the chicken with the pan juices and return to the oven for 15 minutes, until browned.
