This recipe offers a delightful twist on a classic roast chicken, combining sweet and spicy flavors for a mouthwatering dish.
Preheat your oven to 450°F and position the rack in the middle.
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking and a crispy chicken skin.
In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, honey, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Use a whisk to ensure the spices are evenly distributed in the mixture.
Add the chicken pieces and onion slices to the bowl, tossing them to coat thoroughly with the marinade.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
Arrange the chicken pieces skin-side up and the onions in a single layer in a baking dish.
Ensure the chicken pieces are not overlapping for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden brown.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
