Baked Chicken is a classic and versatile dish that offers simplicity and deliciousness in every bite. Typically, bone-in or boneless chicken pieces are marinated or seasoned with a combination of herbs, spices, and aromatics, then baked in the oven until tender and juicy. The marinade or seasoning can vary widely depending on personal taste and culinary traditions, ranging from simple salt and pepper to more complex blends like lemon and herbs, barbecue sauce, or honey mustard. Baking the chicken allows it to cook evenly and retain its natural juices, resulting in moist and flavorful meat. Whether served as a quick weeknight meal or as the centerpiece of a special occasion dinner, Baked Chicken is a timeless favorite that’s sure to please the whole family.
