Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken thoroughly dry with paper towels — the drier the skin, the better it will brown.

In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground turmeric until a paste forms.
