**Ingredients:**

- 3 lb chicken legs or wings

- Cajun seasoning

- Onion powder

- Garlic powder

- Poultry seasoning

- Chicken broth

- Onion, chopped

- Green bell pepper, chopped

- Garlic, minced

- Salt

- Pepper

**Instructions:**

1. **Prepare the Chicken:**

   - Season the chicken liberally with Cajun seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and poultry seasoning according to your taste preferences. For enhanced flavor, refrigerate the seasoned chicken for 1 to 2 hours, or overnight if possible.

2. **Preheat the Oven:**

   - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

3. **Prepare the Baking Dish:**

   - Spread the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic evenly on the bottom of a baking dish.

4. **Layer the Chicken:**

   - Arrange the seasoned chicken pieces on top of the vegetables in the baking dish.

5. **Add Chicken Broth:**

   - Pour 1/3 cup of chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish. This will help create steam and moisture while the chicken bakes.

6. **Bake the Chicken:**

   - Place the baking dish, uncovered, in the preheated oven.

   - Bake the chicken for a total of 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches a safe internal temperature.

   - At 20-minute intervals, baste the chicken with the drippings and juices collected in the bottom of the baking dish. This helps keep the chicken moist and adds flavor.

7. **Check for Doneness:**

   - To ensure the chicken is fully cooked, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. It should register at least 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken.

8. **Serve and Enjoy:**

   - Once the chicken is cooked through and has developed a golden brown crust, remove it from the oven.

   - Serve the baked chicken hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes or enjoy it on its own.

With its tender, flavorful meat and aromatic vegetables, this baked chicken is sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection. Enjoy the delicious blend of spices and the juicy, succulent texture of the chicken with every bite!
