Simple 7 Spice chicken yields deep golden color with mouthwatering flavor. Increase the recipe easily with more chicken and more marinade (or decrease easily). Purchase excellent Lebanese 7 Spice in my shop.
Heat the oven to 425°F. Combine all of the chicken pieces in a bowl or gallon zip top bag.
In a medium bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, 7 spice, and salt. Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and turn them to coat. Refrigerate for one hour and up to 12 hours.
Line a sheet pan with non-stick foil. Transfer the marinated chicken pieces to the pan, leaving behind as much of the marinade as possible to prevent the pan from having too much liquid.
Roast the chicken for 45 minutes to an hour, checking the temperature of the pieces, until they reach 165°F. If your oven has a convection setting, turn that on for the last 20 minutes of roasting to encourage even more even browning. Serve the chicken immediately or make ahead, refrigerate, then reheat at 250° for 20 minutes.
