How long do you bake chicken at 375?

Typically, chicken breasts baked in the oven will take about 20-25 minutes if baked at 375 degrees. Or when a digital thermometer reads 165 * F. If the chicken breast is pan-seared for a few minutes before placed in the oven to bake, it will take about 15-20 minutes. Chicken with bone included will take longer to bake. Times may also vary based on the individual ovens.

Can you cook raw chicken in the oven?

You can certainly cook raw chicken in the oven without pan-searing the chicken first. A Chicken breast baked at 350 degrees should take about 20-25 minutes. If your oven is set at a higher temperature it shouldn’t take as long. If chicken is overcooked or baked for too long it will dry out.

Is it better to cook chicken slow or fast?

It is much better to cook the chicken at a slower pace. This will yield tender and juicer chicken. If you are in a hurry you could certainly pan sear chicken fast but the chicken may tend to be on the dry side. When cooking chicken over a pan, start off cooking the chicken at medium-high heat for a couple of minutes on each side. Reduce heat, cover and let it simmer slowly for 10-15 minutes. This will allow the chicken to be tender and juicy.
