Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F)
In a large bowl, mix fresh chicken with first five ingredients to coat evenly.
Once prepped, use a large skillet and heat 1-2 tbsp of olive oil, searing chicken on both sides, until a golden crust forms, approx 5 minutes on each side.
Place browned chicken into a baking/roasting dish and add water until almost (but not fully) covered (can adjust water amount based on quantity.
Cover pan tightly with cling wrap, then with a layer of foil. Bake for 1 hour and 39 mins (or until internal temp is 165 as ovens may vary). Carefully remove layers to reduce steam. Or, you may vent with a slit to begin cooling. This will also ensure you retain heat before plating.
