- 2,6 kg chicken fillet
- 20 g salt
- 20 g olive oil
- 3½ tl garlic powder
- 2 tl (white) pepper
- 4 tl dried chilly flakes
- 2 tl dried oregano
- 2 tl smoked paprika powder
Place the chicken breasts into a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together: salt, garlic, white pepper, basil, chili, oregano, and smoked paprika.
Add the olive oil to the chicken and massage it in until all pieces are evenly coated.
Next, add the spice mixture and rub the seasonings thoroughly into the chicken, making sure every piece is evenly covered.
Let the chicken rest at room temperature for 20–30 minutes using the dry brine method, allowing the salt and spices to absorb into the meat.
Preheat the oven to 200 °C (fan-assisted). I used a 4D hot air setting with a crisp finish—if your oven has a similar option, it works exceptionally well for even cooking and a better surface texture.
Arrange the chicken on a baking tray so that the thinner ends overlap slightly. This creates a more uniform thickness, helping the chicken cook evenly from end to end and preventing the tips from drying out.
Roast until the internal temperature reaches 72 °C, using a food thermometer for accuracy. In my oven, this took approximately 35 minutes, but cooking time may vary depending on your oven.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes. During this time, the juices redistribute evenly throughout the meat, and the internal temperature naturally rises to around 75 °C, making the chicken safe to eat.For the juiciest result, chicken is best enjoyed at an internal temperature of 75–78 °C.
