Steps:
- PREP/PREPARE
- For this recipe, you will need a rimmed baking sheet, lined with parchment paper, and a wire rack. The rack is optional; however, it gives the chicken a crisper crust on the bottom.
- Brining the Chicken: There are times when brining is not necessary, and other times when it is advisable. When I oven back chicken, I usually brine. A standard brine for boneless, skinless chicken breast would be about 2.5 tablespoons of salt dissolved into a quart of cold water, then immerse the breast for about 45 minutes, but no more. FYI: I you do choose to brine the chicken, then do not add the salt to the spice rub.
- Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- Add all of the ingredients together for the spice rub, and reserve.
- Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 425f (220c).
- Cut the chicken in half, lengthwise.
- Coat with the grapeseed oil, and sprinkle the spice rub on both sides of the chicken.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, fitted with a wire rack (if using).
- Place into the preheated oven, and bake until cooked through, and the spices are nice and brown, about 18 - 22 minutes.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Rest the chicken for about 5 minutes, then slice and serve. Enjoy.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
