Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 40 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 55 mins


• trim any overhanging skin from the chicken pieces. whisk brown sugar, sea salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika, oregano, dry mustard, celery seed, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. rub spice mixture over all chicken pieces and under the skin of breast pieces; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour.

• preheat oven to 425 degrees f (220 degrees c). line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• place chicken pieces skin-side up on prepared pan; place breast pieces in center of pan, and place leg quarters near the edges.
• roast in the preheated oven 15 minutes; baste chicken with maple glaze. rotate pan; roast 15 minutes, and baste again with maple glaze. continue roasting until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, basting again if needed, about 10 minutes. an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees f (74 degrees c).
