The chicken uses a spice rub of cayenne pepper, cumin, garlic powder, dried thyme, smoked paprika, smoked salt and pepper. They are simple to make and packed with flavour! I prefer using bone-in, skin-on chicken, as they retain moisture and don't dry out in the oven plus the skin gets extra crispy as it bakes. As a matter of fact, I ate all the skin first from 4 quarters after baking...they are just the best. I guess I will have to do a few more rounds of burpees and starjumps to burn the fat off.

4 / 1.2 kg Chicken leg quarters, bone-in, skin-on
2-3 Onions, sliced, optional
60 ml Olive oil
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Dried thyme
2 tsp Cayenne pepper 1 tsp Cumin powder
1 tsp Smoked paprika
1 tsp Smoked salt (or regular)
1/2 tsp Smoked black pepper (or regular)
Parsley or chives, finely chopped for garnish

Preheat oven to 190C/375F. Line a baking dish with aluminum foil.
Wipe the chicken quarters with paper towels and place them onto the baking dish.
In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the rub.
Pour the paste over the chicken quarters and, using your hands, rub it well into the chicken pieces, on all sides. Place the onion slices around the chicken if using.
Bake the chicken quarters until cooked through and juices run clear, about 50 minutes. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve immediately.
