Number Of Ingredients 8

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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, and paprika, plus salt and pepper to taste. Rub chicken all over with the chili mix.
  • Add olive oil to a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, and swirl to cover bottom. Add onion rounds in a single layer, then 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.
