Tasty spice rubbed roast chicken pieces. This is very similar to the roast chicken pieces in the deli at King Soopers.  The mix of chicken is up to you. Substitute breasts and wings or use a combination.

For chicken:

  • 4-8legs
  • 4thighs
  • olive oil

For paprika rub:

  • 1TBS Kosher Salt (or table salt)
  • 1TBS Pepper
  • tsp Onion Powder
  • TBS Garlic Powder
  • TBS Smoked Paprika

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Run chicken pieces with olive oil.

Place half of run into shaking bag. Add chicken, two pieces at a time and shake well to coat. Remove pieces to sheet or roasting pan, skin side down, shaking each piece to remove excess rub in the bag.

Repeat for remaining pieces.

Roast chicken for 30 minutes at 400°F. Turn pieces over and roast for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until pieces reach 185°F at thickest point.

Let rest for 10 minutes and serve.
