Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures even cooking of the chicken.
- 2
Prepare Marinade
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
- 3
Coat the Chicken
Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Cooking
- 4
Arrange Chicken on Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Place the marinated chicken pieces on the sheet, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
- 5
Bake the Chicken
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is golden and crispy on the outside.
- 6
Rest and Serve
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more tender.
