This Cinnamon-Roasted Chicken recipe is a twist on the classic roasted chicken. Instead of using the usual spices, this recipe calls for cinnamon, which gives the chicken a warm and comforting taste. The chicken is first pan-fried to create a crispy outer layer and then roasted in the oven to ensure that the meat is cooked thoroughly. This dish is perfect for dinner parties or family dinners.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2.In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, ground cinnamon, salt, cayenne pepper, and sugar.
3.Add the chicken to the bowl and toss to coat well with the cinnamon mixture.
4.Spread the flour on a large plate. Coat the chicken pieces with the flour, shaking off any excess.
5.In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the peanut oil until it shimmers.
6.Add the chicken pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
7.Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until done.
