1 medium fennel bulb, cored and cut into 1-inch wedges

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken pieces thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season all over with the kosher salt and sweet paprika.
2
Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet or braiser over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken pieces skin-side down and sear, undisturbed, for 5–6 minutes until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a plate.
