Ingredients

1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed (-- FOR KETO: use brown sugar substitute)
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano, ((or thyme, parsley, rosemary))
1 teaspoon salt, ((use seasoned salt, Adobo or chicken salt for extra flavour))
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper, (to taste)
1 teaspoon chili powder, ((or 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper) -- optional for a kick of heat)
4 large chicken breasts (7oz \| 200g each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, (minced or finely chopped)
2 teaspoons fresh chopped parsley

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425°F | 220°C (standard ovens) or 390°F | 200°C (fan forced or convection ovens).
Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound each chicken breast to 0.8-inch | 2cm at the thickest part. Make sure your fillets are all the same thickness to ensure even cooking.
Combine sugar, paprika, oregano, salt, powders, pepper and chili (if using).
Line a baking pan with aluminnium foil (or parchment/baking paper). Transfer chicken to the pan and toss chicken in the seasoning. Drizzle with the oil and rub seasoning all over to evenly coat.
Bake chicken in preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until internal temperature is 165°F (75°C) using a meat thermometer. It should be golden with crisp edges.*
Remove parchment paper. Broil (grill) on high heat during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking until golden and crisp.
Remove pan from oven, transfer chicken to serving plates and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
OPTIONAL STEP: While chicken is in the oven, melt butter in a small skillet. Sauté garlic until fragrant (30 seconds), and remove pan from heat. Stir in parsley, then pour butter mixture into pan juices, stirring well to combine all of the flavours together.
To serve, drizzle pan juices over the chicken and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Tips:

Choosing the Right Chicken: Opt for a whole chicken or chicken breasts with skin for optimal flavor. Bone-in chicken provides more savory taste compared to boneless.
Preparing the Chicken: Thoroughly rinse the chicken and pat dry before cooking to ensure crisp skin and even cooking.
Seasoning the Chicken: Use a flavorful combination of herbs, spices, and seasonings to enhance the chicken's taste. Garlic powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and salt & pepper are all excellent choices.
Cooking the Chicken: Roast the chicken at a high temperature to achieve a crispy skin and tender meat. Basting the chicken with butter or olive oil during cooking helps maintain moisture and adds extra flavor.
Testing for Doneness: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken to ensure it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety and optimal juiciness.
Resting the Chicken: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful chicken.
Serving Suggestions: Accompany the baked chicken with a variety of side dishes such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a refreshing salad for a complete meal.
