Method
  1. Make a marinade by adding garlic, spices, salt, lemon zest and juice, salt and oil to a
    bowl and mixing well.

  2. Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts and massage into the chicken. Place in a
    sealed container and leave in the fridge overnight.

  3. Preheat oven to 220°C.

  4. Preheat a baking tray. Place the chicken breasts on the tray and cook for 15 mins, or
    until the core temperature reaches 75°C. The chicken should be nicely charred and
    browned. Rest for a couple minutes before serving.
