Method
Preparation
- 1
Season the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight in the refrigerator for better flavor).

Heat the Pan
Heat a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering but not smoking.

Cook the Chicken
Place the marinated chicken pieces in the hot skillet, skin-side down if applicable. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 7-10 minutes on each side until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
