BEST OVEN BAKED CHICKEN
This is one of my favorite recipes and was given to me by a neighbor many years ago. I've been making it ever since when the weather is cool and it is cozy to have the oven on. It is a no fail, super-easy recipe and I guarantee it will please your family and friends. The recipe can also be made with a cut up chicken.

ACCIDENTALLY THE BEST BAKED CHICKEN NUGGETS EVER
Accidentally discovered this while playing around with Chinese restaurant classics. My nugget-expert daughter loved them. I use the marinade from http://www.recipezaar.com/Sweet-and-Sour-Pork-43587 (minus the extra salt) and the flouring and baking technique from http://www.recipezaar.com/Baked-Lemon-Chicken-With-Chinese-Lemon-Sauce-194890. The chicken works great with either sauce but my picky kid just loved the chicken by itself. Infact she liked it so much I had to post the recipe. All measurements are approximate; vary the spices based upon your own taste.

Tips:
- Use a Whole Chicken: Using a whole chicken gives you more flavor and juiciness compared to boneless, skinless breasts or thighs.
- Dry the Chicken Thoroughly: Patting the chicken dry before seasoning and baking helps the skin crisp up and prevents steaming.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! A good blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme will give the chicken a flavorful crust.
- Truss the Chicken: Trussing the chicken helps it cook evenly and keeps the wings and legs from burning.
- Roast the Chicken at a High Temperature: Starting with a high temperature (425°F) helps to sear the skin and lock in the juices. Then reduce the temperature (350°F) to finish cooking the chicken evenly.
- Roast the Chicken Until the Internal Temperature Reaches 165°F: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, making sure not to touch the bone.
- Let the Chicken Rest: Allow the chicken to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
Conclusion:
Baking a whole chicken is a versatile and delicious way to prepare this classic protein. With the right techniques and seasonings, you can achieve a perfectly cooked chicken with crispy skin, juicy meat, and flavorful drippings. Whether you're roasting a chicken for a special occasion or a simple weeknight meal, following these tips and tricks will help you create a mouthwatering dish that everyone will enjoy.
