Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels to help the skin crisp up.
- 2
Arrange the chicken in a baking dish. Sprinkle the poultry seasoning and onion soup mix over all pieces, pressing gently so the spices adhere to the skin.
- 3
Drizzle olive oil over the chicken, then spoon a generous layer of mayonnaise onto each piece, covering the surface evenly.
- 4
Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the skin is deep golden and the juices run clear. Serve immediately.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra crispy skin, switch to the grill/broil setting for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Letting the seasoned chicken rest in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking deepens the flavour significantly.
