Seasoning
Garnish, optional
Equipment
- Oven
- Baking tray
- Aluminum foil
- Parchment paper
- Rolling pin
- Meat mallet
- Meat thermometer
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F/220°C (200°C fan).
Step 2: Pound the chicken to 1.5 cm/0.6 in thick at the thickest part, using a rolling pin, meat mallet or your fist. This helps the chicken cook evenly and tenderizes it.
Step 3: Mix the seasoning.
Step 4: Line a tray with foil and baking or parchment paper. Place the chicken upside down on the tray. Drizzle with about 1 tsp oil and rub it over with your fingers. Sprinkle with seasoning.
Step 5: Flip the chicken. Drizzle with 1 tsp oil, rub it over with your fingers and sprinkle with seasoning, covering as much of the surface as possible.
Step 6: Bake for 18 minutes, or until the surface is golden, or the internal temperature reaches 165°F/75°C on a meat thermometer.
Step 7: Remove the chicken from the oven and immediately transfer it to serving plates.
Step 8: Wait 3–5 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
Ingredient variations
For chicken breasts larger than about 250 g/8 oz each, cut them horizontally into two thin steaks and skip pounding. Keep them no thicker than 1.5 cm/0.6 in at the thickest point; pound thicker pieces with your fist.
Boneless, skinless thigh fillets can be used instead. Bake small or medium thighs for 25 minutes and larger thighs for 30 minutes.
