Black Pepper Oven-Baked Chicken

Feeling a bit under the weather today, so I’m keeping things simple for dinner. I decided to bake some boneless chicken and pair it with a fresh cucumber salad. Sometimes, a straightforward meal is just what you need. Hoping for a cozy evening and a quick recovery!

The black pepper chicken is a delightful experience for the taste buds and senses. The skin, perfectly baked to a golden brown, crackles with a satisfying, crispy sound as you cut into it—crack-crack-crunch. Each bite reveals a juicy, tender chicken beneath a layer of well-seasoned black pepper sauce. The sauce adds a bold, aromatic heat with a hint of smokiness, enhancing the natural flavor of the chicken. The crispy skin, with its savory and slightly spicy crust, provides a delightful contrast to the succulent meat, making each mouthful a deliciously satisfying treat. The big sister has saved the baked black pepper chicken for last, knowing it’s the highlight of the meal. She plans to relish every crispy, peppery bite only after finishing all her other dishes, ensuring that the juiciness and crunch of the chicken are the final, unforgettable note of her meal.

Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 230°C (450°F).

Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. This helps the sauce stick better and ensures a crispier texture.

Season Chicken: Brush or spoon a generous amount of black pepper sauce over each piece of chicken. Make sure it’s evenly coated.

Bake: Place the chicken on a baking sheet or in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes until it is cooked through.

Rest and Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps the meat moist. Serve it with cold cucumber 🥒. Best combination ever!
