A word on the best temperature and time for roasting*: There are so many recipes for oven-roasted split chicken breasts it’s hard to decipher what is the correct oven temperature and cook time. After multiple recipe tests, below are the best temperature and time variances both in Fahrenheit and Celsius scales:
350 degrees F / 177 degrees C - 55-65 minutes 375 degrees F / 191 degrees C - 45-60 minutes 425 degrees F / 218 degrees C 35-45 minutes (preferred method) It’s important to note that my favorite oven temperature is 425 degrees F. Not only do the halved chicken breasts cook faster, but the higher temperature produces a super crispy, golden-brown skin that is absolute heaven!
