I got this idea from a long-ago TV show (Little House on the Prairie) and used what I had in my kitchen to make the rub. My husband likes it a lot.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon lemon pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground dried thyme
2 pounds bone-in chicken pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 13x9-inch baking dish with aluminum foil.
  • Stir olive oil, cinnamon, salt, lemon pepper, garlic powder, and thyme together in a small bowl; rub onto chicken to coat. Arrange coated chicken pieces into a baking dish with the skin side down.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes, turn, and continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from oven, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and rest chicken for about 15 minutes before serving.

Time 1h10m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 whole chicken legs (2 1/2 pounds)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the chicken and stir to make a paste.
  • Rub spice paste onto chicken legs and let stand on a parchment-lined baking sheet 15 minutes. Roast until skin crisps, 40 to 45 minutes; serve.

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken for the best flavor and juiciness. If you're using a smaller chicken, reduce the cooking time accordingly.
  • Pat the chicken dry before seasoning it. This will help the spices adhere to the skin.
  • Use a generous amount of spice rub. The flavors will develop as the chicken cooks.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature for a crispy skin and tender meat. If your oven has a convection setting, use it for even cooking.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

This cinnamon-rubbed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you're serving it for dinner with roasted vegetables or shredding it for tacos, this chicken is sure to be a hit.
