Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approx. 200g each)
  • 30 ml (2 tbsp) extra virgin olive oil
  • 5g (1 tsp) kosher salt
  • 2.5g (1/2 tsp) freshly cracked black pepper
  • 5g (1 tsp) smoked paprika
  • 5g (1 tsp) garlic powder
  • 5g (1 tsp) onion powder
  • 2.5g (1/2 tsp) dried oregano
  • 5g (1 tsp) light brown sugar

Instructions:

  1. Pat the 4 chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Until the surface is matte and not shiny.
  2. Place chicken on the baking sheet and drizzle with 30 ml of olive oil. Coating every inch of the meat.
  3. Combine salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and brown sugar in a small bowl.
  4. Sprinkle the rub generously over both sides of each breast. Use your hands to press the spices into the meat so they don't fall off.
  5. Space the breasts at least 5 cm apart on the tray. Avoid crowding to prevent steaming.
  6. Bake the chicken in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 18 to 22 minutes. Until the edges are slightly golden and crackling.
  7. Insert your thermometer into the thickest part. It must hit 74°C (165°F).
  8. Remove from the oven and transfer to a plate or cutting board.
  9. Let the chicken rest for five minutes before slicing. To ensure a velvety texture in every bite.
