- Coat each chicken breast in the mayo mixture until well covered.
- Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If using, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top for extra crunch.
Cooking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden.

For spice, add cayenne pepper to the mayo mixture. Ensure chicken is evenly coated for best flavor. Frying briefly after baking adds extra crunch. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
