Add mayonnaise, kosher salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, and paprika to a small bowl and stir to combine.
Rub mixture over chicken pieces. Be sure to rub some under the skin as well. Cover and allow to sit in the mayonnaise mixture for at least 15 minutes while the oven is preheating.
Place chicken pieces in a 13x9 baking dish in a single layer, making sure the chicken does not overlap.
Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the chicken skin, is golden, and a quick read thermometer registers at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the chicken from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Allow the chicken to sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Notes:
Break down a whole chicken or ask your Butcher to do this. You can also find pre-cut chicken pieces in most major grocery stores.
I suggest cutting the breast in ½ to ensure the chicken pieces finish cooking at the same time.
Fats like olive oil or butter can be subbed for the mayonnaise in this recipe.
