Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Mix the oil, garlic, oregano, paprika, lemon juice, 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
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
Arrange the chicken in the pan, skin side up.

💡Bake covered so the chicken steams and stays juicy, then finish uncovered: only then does the skin brown and caramelize.
💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
6
Bake uncovered 20 minutes, until the chicken is browned and cooked.
