Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken pieces completely dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, then rub the mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken.

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or deep 12-inch oven-safe skillet 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 brown and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a plate.
