In a large bowl, combine the green seasoning, garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, allspice, paprika, black pepper, cayenne (if using), salt, and vegetable oil. Mix well to form a flavorful marinade.

Marinate the Chicken:
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Make small cuts on the chicken to allow the marinade to penetrate deeper. Coat each piece thoroughly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.

Bake the Chicken:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the chicken pieces on the rack, skin-side up, ensuring they are not touching. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.

Broil for Extra Crispiness:
For a crispy finish, broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes after baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
