Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp of the olive oil and the rest of the ingredients. Add the chicken and turn to coat evenly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.

Preheat an oven to 425 degrees

Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade. In the skillet over medium-high heat, warm the remaining olive oil. Place the ckicken skin side down and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the chicken over, pour the water into the skillet and transfer to the oven. Roast, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade up until the last 10 minutes of cooking, until the chicken is golden brown and the juices run clear when the thigh is peirced, about 35 minutes.

Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.
