Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.

- Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish. If the chicken is too crowded, it won't cook evenly.
- Bake the chicken at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to keep the chicken juicy and prevent it from drying out.
