Ingredients

  • 2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Step By Step

Instructions

1
Bring the chicken out of the fridge about 20 minutes before you're ready to cook. Heat the oven to 425°F.
2
Rub the chicken with the olive oil and salt (any optional spices or herbs can get added here). Loosen the skin and drizzle a little olive oil between the skin and the breast meat.
3
Place the chicken on a wire rack fitted inside a rimmed sheet pan. Place in the oven and cook for about 40 minutes, until it reaches 165°F when using a meat thermometer at its thickest part.
4
Rest the breasts for 5 to 10 minutes, then carve and serve.
