Steps

  1. 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. 2Place your chicken into a baking dish.
  3. 3The trick is to sprinkle each chicken with the spices well. Start with the salt. Sprinkle each chicken with salt. Do the same with the pepper, garlic and onion powder. Be sure to cover the entire skin, it will help the crisp factor.
  4. 4Drizzle each chicken with a little olive oil.
  5. 5Bake the chicken in the oven (uncovered) for an hour. If the heat in your oven is uneven make sure to rotate the chicken halfway through.
  6. 6The chicken is usually done around 60-65 minutes. You will know they are ready when the skin is nice and crispy. Depending on how many chickens you are cooking (and your oven) it could be longer. The trick is that the skin will be crispy.
  7. 7Take the chicken out, and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes.
  8. 8Sprinkle with parsley (if on hand), serve with white rice and roasted vegetables.
