Ingredients
- bone-in chicken breasts (2 each)
- bone-in chicken thighs (2 )
- chicken drumsticks (2 )
- onion (1 )
- fresh lemon juice (0.75 cup)
- Worcestershire sauce (0.25 cup)
- minced garlic (1.5 tablespoons)

Instructions
- Place chicken pieces in a large bowl. Add onion, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, allspice, onion powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Heat oil in a large skillet. Add chicken pieces, reserving marinade in the bowl. Pan-fry chicken until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Pour reserved marinade on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of chicken pieces should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
