Step 1
Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Arrange in a large roasting pan or cast-iron skillet.
Step 2
Combine minced garlic, chopped chili, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Step 3
Rub the marinade all over the chicken, coating both sides generously. Let sit for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 425°F. Roast chicken uncovered for 50–60 minutes, until skin is deep golden and an instant-read thermometer reaches 165°F in the thickest part.
Step 5
Remove from oven and rest for 5 minutes before serving. The skin should be crackling and the pan drippings deep and rich.
