No need to use oil in marinating the chicken.
Season the chicken on all sides, both the top and under. Apply the rub thoroughly over the chicken for flavor.
You can line the baking tray with parchment paper to make cleaning the tray after cooking easier.
With skinless chicken, bake with the smooth sides facing up and if using skin-on, bake with skin side up.
Cook chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit or 75 degrees Celcius.
Leave it to sit for 5 minutes in the baking tray before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
