1
1/2 tbsp brown sugar

INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Preheat
oven to 425F/220C (standard) or 390F/200C (fan / convection).
2. Pound
chicken to 1.5cm / 0.6" at the thickest part - using a rolling pin, meat
mallet or even your fist (key tip for even cooking + tender chicken).
3.
Mix
Seasoning.
4. Line
tray with foil and baking paper. Place chicken upside down on tray. Drizzle
chicken with about 1 tsp oil. Rub over with fingers. Sprinkle with Seasoning.
5. Flip
chicken. Drizzle with 1 tsp oil, rub with fingers, sprinkle with Seasoning,
covering as much of the surface area as you can.
6. Bake
18 minutes, or until surface is golden per photos and video, or internal
temperature is 165F/75C using a meat thermometer.
7.
Remove
from oven and immediately transfer chicken to serving plates.
8.
Wait
3 - 5 minutes before serving, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if
desired. Pictured with a side of Garlic Butter Rice with Kale.
NOTES
1. If
your breast is quite large eg 250g / 8oz+ each, cut them in half horizontally
to form 2 thin steaks and skip the pounding. Make sure they are no thicker than
1.5cm / 0.6" thick at the thickest point - if they are, pound using fist.
This can also be made with thigh
fillets (boneless, skinless). Follow the recipe but cook for 25 minutes for
small / medium thighs and 30 minutes for larger ones.
