Enjoy a flavorful and crispy baked chicken dish with a touch of herbs and spices, perfect for a hearty dinner.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Line a baking dish with foil and place a baking rack inside.
The rack helps the chicken cook evenly and stay crispy.
Prepare the chicken by trimming excess fat and separating the skin slightly to create a pocket.
Be careful not to remove the skin completely; it helps retain moisture.
Brush the chicken under the skin with soy sauce.
This step infuses flavor directly into the meat.
Sprinkle garlic powder, seasoning salt, dill weed, and paprika under the skin and rub gently.
Rubbing the spices ensures even distribution of flavor.
Place the chicken on the rack, skin side up, ensuring they are not crowded.
Spacing the chicken allows air to circulate for crispier skin.
Brush the skin with soy sauce and sprinkle with the remaining spices.
Adding spices to the skin enhances the crispy texture.
Bake the chicken on the middle rack for 1 hour.
Check the chicken occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
This step helps achieve a golden, crispy skin.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach 165°F (74°C).
Avoid touching the bone with the thermometer for an accurate reading.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist.
