-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
-
Using tongs, place the chicken in a plastic bag and squeeze the air out when you seal it (or cover it with plastic wrap)
-
Take a rolling pin and bash the chicken until they are an even thickness (I usually get the thicker parts even with the thinner parts meaning I don’t bash the thinner parts, only the thicker ones; the plastic bag/wrap is to keep chicken juices from splattering everywhere as you bash away)
-
Using tongs, remove the chicken from the bag/wrap
-
Place on a plate or in a bowl
-
Drizzle 1 – 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the chicken
-
Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and herbs/spices on the chicken
-
Toss with tongs; if you need to add more oil, salt, pepper, or spices do so
-
Using the tongs, place the chicken in a baking dish
-
Place the chicken in the oven and cook for 10 minutes
-
Using tongs, turn the chicken and continue to cook until the internal temperature reads 165 degrees F for chicken breast and 165-175 degrees F for chicken thighs
-
Remove from the oven and cover with foil
-
Let rest for 5 minutes
-
Serve and enjoy!
