Ingredients:

  • 2 bone-in, skin-on split chicken breasts (about 2 to 2.5 lbs total)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • optional: lemon wedges and fresh herbs for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment.
  3. Mix seasoning: In a small bowl, mix olive oil with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  4. Season chicken: Rub the seasoning mixture over the chicken breasts, coating both sides.
  5. Bake: Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
  6. Rest and serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • For juicier meat, let the chicken rest uncovered in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking to enhance crispiness during roasting.
