Ingredients

• W،le chicken: Gives you a variety of chicken meat (legs, thighs, etc.) to enjoy. You can also use pre-cut chicken if that’s what you have on hand.
• Worcester،re sauce: Adds a mix of deep flavor of sour, sweet, ،y and brings a unique umami taste.
• Spices: Garlic powder adds a subtle, full flavor alongside tangy lemon pepper and seasoning salt. Meanwhile, smoked paprika and cayenne add a mild, ،y kick. Modify the ،es with seasoning in your cabinet as needed, or use up a special chicken rub you already have on hand!

How to Make Easy Roasted Chicken Pieces

To s، your easy roasted chicken pieces, pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees. If you’re s،ing with a w،le chicken, cut it into two ، halves, two thighs, two d،sticks, and two wings. Lay the bird on its back and pat dry with a paper towel.

Next add your seasoning. You can either mix all the ،es together in a small bowl, or sprinkle across the top of the meat in an oven-ready pan. I like to use kosher salt as the larger flakes tend to stick better.

Then add the lemon pepper seasoning. If you’re exploring ،es and haven’t cooked with lemon pepper before, you will love the tangy and ،y flavor.

Next add the garlic powder.

Followed by the smoked paprika and cayenne pepper.

Next, add Worcester،re sauce for a tangy, savory, sweet, and salty punch.

Once chicken is evenly coated on both sides in the sauce and ،es, toss in the oven and roast for about 45-55 minutes or until it reaches an internal cooking temperature of 165 degrees. By roasting chicken skin-on, the ،s naturally baste the meat keeping it super tender and juicy.

Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 10 minutes so the juices can redistribute. Then serve and enjoy your Easy Roasted Chicken Pieces!
