Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons crushed loose chai tea (from 6 bags, if using)
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Six 8-to 10-ounce bone-in skin-on chicken breast halves
  • 1 cup chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 450.
  • In a bowl, whisk the oil with the tea, salt and pepper.
  • Rub the chai mixture all over the chicken breast halves and under the skin.
  • Set the chicken skin side up on a large rimmed baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes, until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of each breast registers 160.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes, then transfer to a platter.
  • Scatter the cilantro on top and serve with lime wedges.
