So I know some of you are thinking, “baked chicken, really?” And I get it. Far too many of us have eaten baked chicken that was dry, boring or bland. Or all of the above. But that’s no reason to hate on baked chicken! You’ve just got to have a good cooking method to bring out the best in this classic dish.

For one thing, some of the best baked chicken is bone-in! Bone-in chicken pieces do well in the oven, coming out juicy and tender. In this recipe, I’m using a whole chicken cut into pieces, which means you’ll get a nice mix of light and dark meat. Yum!

The Best Chicken Recipes

What do you do when you feel the same? Order from a fast food restaurant? You really don't need it! The only thing you need for these succulent oven baked chicken parts is some time.

Unlike our sweet-savory Cast Iron Chicken Breastwhich are cooked on the stovetop, you don’t have to watch them close in the kitchen. You can lie down and dream about the most succulent golden brown roasted chicken pieces you will have in the end.

Just like our Baked Chicken Drumsticks, this is a recipe that requires a 50-minute baking in oven; 30 minutes at high heat and 20 minutes at medium heat. I’m not talking about any cooking skills here because you almost do nothing to roast chicken parts. This is a put in the oven and forget about it for some time kind of recipe.

Second, sprinkle salt and black pepper and pour a little olive oil on each side. Massage them well. See it in the video below please.

Fourth, oil a baking pan and place the chicken pieces in a single layer. If you use chicken parts with skin, place the skin sides up. Throw rosemary leaves and garlic cloves (with skin) over them. Bake for 30 minutes. If you put the head of garlic cut in half, remove it after 30 minutes. If you keep it until the end, it might burn.

Finally, remove from oven and cover with aluminium foil until serving time. The roasted chicken pieces will be wonderfully moist inside with a crispy golden brown outside. Brush each chicken piece with the juice inside the pan and serve.

It is better to start baking at a high heat like 400F. You will end up with a nice golden color with this initial baking. Then continue baking at 375F for 20-30 minutes depending on your oven. Check it after 20 minutes using a knife. If they are tender enough and the juice is no longer pink, it's done.

This is one of the best whole cut up chicken recipes because it is quite straightforward. You can buy a whole chicken and have your butcher cut them up for you. As a result, it gets way easier than working with a whole chicken. We either make these easy roast chicken pieces or Chicken Tomato Soup with the pieces.

I often use chicken thighs, legs and wings for this recipe and include breasts only when we have a whole chicken because you know chicken breasts are not as juicy. Making a few marks on breasts with a sharp knife really prevents drying and helps them absorb the flavors better. Or use the breast to make chicken kebobs in oven Turkish style.

This is a recipe every mom should know. Believe it or not your family will adore you even more when they see these amazing roasted chicken pieces at dinner table. You can proudly watch them gobbling down the pieces and licking their fingers. Visualize this in your mind. This is what every mom wants in their homes, right? With no hard work at all!

In this particular recipe, I used thighs only that were not very large, about 50 grams. With bone in and skin on. Each thigh was 116 calories.

It is better to use skin-on chicken parts when roasting in oven so that we have them crispy on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside. Skin functions as a natural cover to prevent the chicken from drying in the oven. The best thing about chicken skin is that it is considered as a source of healthy, unsaturated fat. Plus, it gives a nice flavor. So you don’t need to remove it even after the chicken is cooked.

Also, you had better remove the skin if you overcook it and it is almost blackened, rather than getting a nice golden color.

To freeze chicken parts, place each of them in a freezer bag separately, not in blocks. Then put them in a larger freezer bag. This will help them thaw easier. Piling them altogether in one bag will require longer time to thaw.

Although some sources say that it is safe to cook frozen chicken, I wouldn’t recommend it. The cooking time will change for frozen chicken and it is hard to cook it evenly. What’s more, I think we should admit that some things in life needs time. Defrosting is just one of these things.

So it’s better to plan ahead and place the frozen chicken in the refrigerator overnight. We need about 24 hours to thaw frozen chicken pieces. This is the safest way.
