Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Cut to a similar size so they cook evenly.

Mix marinade ingredients together in a small bowl to create a paste. Place chicken on a parchment-lined sheet pan and brush all sides generously with the marinade, pouring any remaining marinade over the breasts. Let the chicken rest on the counter and come to room temperature while the oven preheats.
