Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For a juicy and flavorful baked chicken, choose a whole chicken or chicken breasts that are free-range and organic. This ensures that the chicken has been raised in a stress-free environment and has a better flavor.
  • Prepare the chicken properly: Before baking, make sure to rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry. This will help the spices and herbs adhere to the chicken and result in a more flavorful dish.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of herbs, spices, and oil for at least 30 minutes before baking will help to infuse it with flavor. You can use a store-bought marinade or make your own using ingredients like olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: To achieve crispy skin and juicy meat, roast the chicken at a high temperature (425°F or 220°C) for the first 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F or 175°C for the remainder of the cooking time.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C before removing it from the oven.
