The recipe uses a spicy blend of seasonings, giving the chicken that savory, deep-fried taste and aroma. As it bakes, the chicken browns to crispy perfection on the outside while staying juicy and tender on the inside.

This protein-packed dish works well for lunch or dinner paired with roasted vegetables, and great for meal-prepping in advance!

Tip: When taking the chicken breasts out of the refrigerator, make sure they reach room temperature 20 minutes before baking. Same applies if you’re defrosting.
