Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 whole chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), cut into serving pieces
1 sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 500°F with rack in upper third.
- Mix oil with spices, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl, then add chicken and onion, tossing to coat. Arrange chicken, skin side up, and onion in a 3-quart shallow baking dish.
- Bake until chicken is just cooked through and skin is golden, about 30 minutes. Skim any fat from pan juices in dish.
