Before you start cooking, take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air, preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Add your chicken to a baking tray, then drizzle the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle over your ground smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and a pinch of salt and pepper

(Doubled your protein? Do this in batches!)
