Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (350°F). Line a baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. In a bowl, combine the garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and baking soda. Add the olive oil and stir until a smooth paste forms.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Oil and seasonings form a smooth paste. Mix until the baking soda is evenly dispersed.

  3. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels. Spread the seasoned oil mixture thinly and evenly over both sides of each breast, ensuring full coverage.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Chicken is coated in a thin, even layer. Patting it dry first helps the coating adhere.

  4. Arrange the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking pan, leaving a little space between them.

  5. Bake for 90 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the coating is crisp. If the coating browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the remainder of the baking time.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Coating is crisp and golden. Shield browned areas loosely if they darken early.

  6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately.
