Description

Bone-in chicken breasts are a flavorful, juicy alternative to their boneless counterparts. Cooking chicken with the bone helps retain moisture, ensuring tender and succulent results. This versatile recipe uses simple ingredients and can be easily customized with your favorite herbs and spices. Perfect for roasting, grilling, or baking, this dish is ideal for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 bone-in chicken breasts (with skin)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp fresh or dried thyme (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps crisp up the skin.
  3. Season Chicken: Rub olive oil all over the chicken breasts. Season generously with garlic powder, paprika, thyme (if using), salt, and pepper, ensuring even coverage.
  4. Bake: Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet, skin-side up. Roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Rest: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist.
  6. Serve: Serve the chicken with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor, and pair with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

This recipe can be easily adapted for grilling. Simply preheat the grill to medium heat and cook for 10-15 minutes on each side until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
