1 (5 to 6 pound) roasting chicken
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large bunch fresh thyme, plus 20 sprigs

OVEN-BAKED CHICKEN



Oven-Baked Chicken image

If you love takeout fried chicken, you'll love this mess-free recipe that's a crispy, oven-baked alternative. The secret to this baked chicken recipe is adding the chicken to a baking dish that's already hot. This ensures the chicken starts cooking immediately and helps create a crispy, crackly skin that's even better than your takeout favorite.

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken: A whole chicken is more flavorful and juicy than chicken breasts or thighs. If you're worried about cooking a whole chicken, don't be! It's actually quite easy.
  • Season the chicken generously: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt, pepper, and other seasonings. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from tasting bland.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. A good rule of thumb is to roast the chicken at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes per pound.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and gravy are all great options.

Conclusion:

Oven-baked chicken is a classic dish that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a simple and tasty dinner idea, give oven-baked chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
