- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil and spices for a few hours before cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Letting the chicken rest after baking helps it stay juicy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, or freeze for up to three months.
