I created this version of oven-baked chicken by modifying a recipe to match my family's love of garlic with chicken. Just coat the chicken, pop it into the oven and forget it. The crispy coating really stays on. My family always enjoys this flavorful main dish.-Jan Walls, Dover, Delaware

JUICY ROASTED CHICKEN



Juicy Roasted Chicken image

My grandmother's recipe for roasted chicken. We are German and she used to do it this way all the time. I never have had a chicken this juicy before; this little trick works and makes the people eating it go silent. It's funny. We nibble on the celery after.

  • For a crispy skin, pat the chicken dry before roasting and brush it with melted butter or oil.
  • To make the garlic more flavorful, roast it whole and then squeeze the cloves out of their skins before adding them to the chicken.
  • If you don't have a roasting pan, you can use a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • For a more flavorful gravy, use the pan drippings to make a simple sauce.
