Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 °F (205 °C).

Step 2

Place an oven-safe cooling rack on a baking tray big enough to fit all the chicken.

Step 3

Stir together the spices in a little bowl.

Step 4

Place the chicken on the cooling rack (in the pan) and drizzle the olive oil over the top.

Step 5

Rub half the spice mix between the skin and the meat. Rub the other half on top and on the bottom of the chicken. On the bottom, there's just a little drumstick meat that you need to rub - no need to rub the bones.

Step 6

Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the internal temperature is 185 °F (85 °C) and the skin is browned and crisp. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 7

If you have any leftovers, let them cool and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
