Roasted Garlic Butter Chicken Recipe

Wash and pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels.

In a bowl, add soft butter and grate garlic cloves over it.

Mix in salt and ground black pepper to create a garlic butter paste.

Loosen the skin of the chicken breasts with fingers and tuck the garlic butter paste under the skin.

Mix together coarse salt, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne powder, and dried thyme.

Season both sides of the chicken with the spice mixture, rubbing it into the meat.

Set the chicken aside while heating the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius).

Bake the chicken in the heated oven for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the breasts.

After 15-20 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and baste it with the juices from the pan.

After about an hour, check if the chicken is cooked using a meat thermometer.

Let the chicken rest for at least five minutes before cutting into it.

Serve the chicken alongside the juices from the pan.
