Coating chicken with mayonnaise and spices before you bake it not only makes for a beautifully browned outside, it also helps bring out the flavor of your seasonings. We use the same technique for our beer-in-the-rear whole chicken on the grill. But chicken breasts cook up faster, and this preparation couldn’t be simpler.
