The Best Easy Bone-in Chicken Breasts
A simple recipe for tender, delicious chicken with crispy skin and flavorful pan juices.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts approximate weight. Use 4 bone-in breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Pat the skin of your chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. This helps the skin get nice and crispy. I like to slide a small pad of nondairy butter under the skin of each breast, but it's not required.
- Combine your spices in a small bowl.
- Place your chicken into a large roasting pan and drizzle it with the olive oil. Rub the oil evenly over the skin using a meat brush or your hand.
- Sprinkle each breast evenly with the spices.
- Roast the chicken for about 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes. You can cut the meat off the bone, and drizzle it with the pan juices.
