Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F and move the rack to the middle position. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up.

Step 2

Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. Place the chicken pieces on the baking sheet and coat them all over with olive oil. Season them generously with salt & pepper. Sprinkle the smoked paprika on the skin, and then rub it on.

Step 3

Bake, uncovered, for 35-40 minutes. See recipe notes below for more info on timing. Optional: broil for a few more minutes to really crisp up the skin.

Step 4

Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes prior to serving them (this ensures they will be juicy and tender).
