A quick and easy recipe for crispy skin bone-in chicken breasts roasted with a white barbecue seasoning and served with a tangy creamy herb sauce. Perfect for weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs / 700 g)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil all over each piece.
  3. Sprinkle the white barbecue seasoning mix evenly on both sides of the chicken.
  4. Place the chicken skin-side up on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.
  5. Roast the chicken for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Start checking at 25 minutes to avoid overcooking.
  6. While the chicken roasts, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chives, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth. Add cayenne pepper if desired.
  7. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Serve the chicken with the creamy herb sauce spooned on top or on the side for dipping. Garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes watching closely to avoid burning. Letting the chicken sit uncovered in the fridge for 30 minutes before roasting helps dry the skin further. You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter sauce or use dried herbs if fresh are unavailable (reduce quantity). This recipe is naturally gluten-free if condiments used are gluten-free.
