Time 26m

Number Of Ingredients 13

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.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Opt for a whole chicken or chicken pieces with skin on and bone-in. This helps retain moisture and flavor during baking.
  • Preheat your oven: Ensure your oven is fully preheated before putting the chicken in. This helps create a crispy skin and prevents the chicken from steaming.
  • Use a flavorful marinade or rub: Marinate or rub the chicken with a mixture of herbs, spices, oil, and seasonings. This infuses the chicken with flavor and keeps it moist.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature initially: Start by roasting the chicken at a high temperature (425-450°F) for 20-30 minutes. This helps sear the skin and lock in the juices.
  • Reduce the temperature and continue roasting: After the initial high-temperature roasting, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue roasting for an additional 30-45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: Once the chicken is done roasting, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.

Conclusion:

By following these tips, you can create a juicy and flavorful oven-baked chicken that will impress your family and friends. Remember to choose high-quality ingredients, marinate or rub the chicken well, roast it at the right temperature, and let it rest before carving. With a little practice, you'll be able to master this classic dish and enjoy delicious oven-baked chicken whenever you crave it.
