Baked Bone-In Chicken Breast Recipe
Description
This recipe centers on roasting bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts seasoned simply with vegetable oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. The chicken is patted dry and coated on all sides before baking on a parchment-lined sheet at a relatively high temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature helps achieve a crispy, golden skin, distinguishing this method from lower-temperature roasting.
Cooking times range from 35-45 minutes depending on the size of the breasts, with a rest period afterward to allow juices to redistribute, preserving moisture. The chicken can be served whole or cut into pieces suitable for incorporation into other dishes as desired.
It is recommended to remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 to 60 minutes before roasting to reach room temperature for even cooking. The recipe also notes alternative oven temperatures and cooking times but favors the 425°F approach for the best texture contrast between skin and meat.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts 14-15 ounces each, bone-in and skin-on
- 4 teaspoon vegetable oil avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. *
- Pat dry and season chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, coat the entire surface (including the backside) with oil and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Roast in the oven: Place the chicken (skin side up) on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake 35-45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Remove from the oven, cover it loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Slice, Dice, Shred, and Serve! the whole chicken breast as is or slice, dice, or shred to your desired size to use in any one of your favorite chicken recipes.
Notes
- Remove chicken from refrigerator 30-60 minutes before baking to achieve even cooking.
- Preferred roasting temperature is 425°F for 35-45 minutes to get crispy skin and juicy meat.
- Alternate temperatures and times: 350°F for 55-65 minutes or 375°F for 45-60 minutes if preferred.
- After baking, let the chicken rest covered loosely with foil for 5-10 minutes to redistribute juices.
- This recipe can be multiplied to roast more chicken breasts simultaneously.
