For extra crispy skin, you can optionally broil the chicken for the last few minutes of cooking, but watch it carefully to prevent burning. Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. A pinch of red pepper flakes can also be added for extra heat. Serve with roasted vegetables, a simple salad, or your favorite side dishes for a complete and satisfying meal. For an even deeper flavor, consider dry-brining the chicken overnight. Simply rub the chicken with the spice mixture and let it sit uncovered in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight before roasting.
