Frequently asked questions

What temperature should you bake chicken at?

It all depends on what you are baking? The temperature will vary based on what you are using like thighs or breasts, bone-in or boneless. Ideally, chicken is baked anywhere between 350F-450F for a period of at least 20 minutes and up to 45 minutes. The best way to check if the chicken is done and cooked through is to check the internal temperature until it reaches 165F.

How long do I cook Chicken breast at 350F?

A 4-oz piece of chicken baked at 350°F (177˚C) will need 25-30 minutes.

Do you cover chicken breasts when baking?

No. We prefer not to cover the chicken breast as it bakes. You want it to be browned and have that roasted look as opposed to boiled or steamed chicken. Leave it uncovered.

How do you make chicken not taste dry?

Do not overcook it! Simple as that. If you cook the chicken for too long over the recommended time, the heat will remove the moisture from the chicken and thus drying it out.
