Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons chile powder
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons ground paprika
4 chicken-breast halves with bone in and skin on
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch rounds
8 sprigs fresh thyme or marjoram
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the chile powder, cumin, paprika, plus salt and pepper to taste. Rub the chicken all over with the chile mix.
  • Add the olive oil to a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, and swirl to cover bottom. Add the onion rounds in a single layer, then the thyme. Add chicken, skin side up. Transfer to oven, and bake until the chicken has cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Let chicken cool slightly. Using your fingers, remove the bones. Slice each breast, crosswise, into four or five pieces. Serve with the roasted onion rounds and thyme.
