Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Whole Chicken Recipes

Time 2h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lemon, zested
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 pinch sea salt and pepper to taste
1 (3 pound) whole chicken
4 whole garlic cloves

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Combine the lemon zest, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic in a small bowl; stir in the olive oil, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Separate the skin around the breast and thighs from the meat. Rub the herb mixture onto the meat, underneath the skin. Cut the zested lemon in half, and place half of the lemon into the cavity of the chicken along with the whole garlic cloves. Place the chicken into a roasting pan, and squeeze the remaining lemon half evenly over the skin of the chicken.
  • Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour, 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

SUCCULENT BAKED CHICKEN

Got this from my cousin-in-law Doreen. The chicken cooks for 2 1/2 hours and comes out so moist. There will be plenty of juice from the meat to make a gravy. Serve with mashed potatoes and your favorite veggie. Great weekend meal for those upcoming cold evenings. Cooking time includes the 20 minute sitting time in step 11.

Baked Chicken In a Sweet BBQ Sauce image

What I had to do to squeeze this recipe from my neighbor...but it's worth it. This is a scrumptious version of sticky chicken.

Provided by Allyson

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup prepared barbecue sauce
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup red wine
¼ cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon dry mustard powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Whisk together the barbecue sauce, soy sauce, red wine, maple syrup, chili powder, dry mustard powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
  • Place the chicken breasts into a 9x13-inch baking dish, and pour the sauce over the chicken. Turn the chicken pieces over in the sauce to coat both sides.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the baking dish, and keep warm.
  • Pour the remaining sauce into a saucepan, place over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the sauce; reduce heat to a simmer, and allow the sauce to thicken, whisking constantly. Return the chicken to the dish, and pour the thickened sauce over the chicken to serve.

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken: This will give you more flavor and juiciness than using chicken breasts or thighs alone.
  • Dry the chicken thoroughly: This will help the skin crisp up.
  • Season the chicken liberally: Use a variety of spices and herbs to create a flavorful crust.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help the skin crisp up and the meat cook through quickly.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
  • Serve the chicken with a variety of sides: Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and gravy are all classic options.

Conclusion:

Baked chicken is an easy and delicious weeknight meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a succulent and flavorful baked chicken that will be the star of your next dinner table. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious meal, give baked chicken a try.
