Roast Chicken Pieces Recipes

SEASONED OVEN BAKED CHICKEN PIECES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
• Combine the flour, pepper, paprika, thyme, and salt, in a shallow dish.
• Working 1 piece at a time with tongs, dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture and then dip into the melted butter, covering completely.
• Transfer to a baking dish skin-side up.
• Bake for about an hour, or until the juices run clear and the chicken is nicely browned and cooked all the way through. Serve and enjoy.

THE BEST ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix butter, garlic, thyme, rosemary, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a bowl.
• Loosen skin on chicken breast; rub butter mixture between skin and breast meat. Press on the skin to distribute evenly. Rub oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper all over; place lemon halves inside cavity. Set in a baking pan.
• Roast in the preheated oven, basting after 30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest before carving, about 15 minutes.

JUICY ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place chicken in a roasting pan, and season generously inside and out with salt and pepper. Sprinkle inside and out with onion powder. Place 3 tablespoons margarine in the chicken cavity. Arrange dollops of the remaining margarine around the chicken's exterior. Cut the celery into 3 or 4 pieces, and place in the chicken cavity.
• Bake uncovered 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, to a minimum internal temperature of 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove from heat, and baste with melted margarine and drippings. Cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest about 30 minutes before serving.

ROAST CHICKEN PIECES

Steps:

• Defrost the chicken thoroughly for several hours at room temperature.
• Heat the oven at 400F/200C/Gas Mark 6-7. Rub the chicken with the oil and dot with the butter. Sprinkle with herbs, if liked. Place in a well-greased roasting tin and cover with cooking foil.
• Roast for 30-40 minutes, according to the size of the chicken pieces, until the juices run clear (not pink) when tested with a fork. (If still pink, cook for a few more minutes). Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of cooking time to brown the chicken. Chipolata sausages, roast potatoes and parsnips can be cooked around the chicken pieces. Remove the chicken, and the sausages, potatoes, and parsnips (if used) from the tin, and keep warm. Use the juices left in the roasting tin to make the gravy.

DAD'S ROAST CHICKEN -- MY WAY WITH A PARSLEY LEMON JUICE OIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degree F.
• Trim off any excess skin or fat from the chicken. Cut off and discard the wing tips. Place the chicken pieces in an 11 by 13-inch baking pan, or any pan that that they fit in without crowding. Season the chicken pieces generously with salt, pepper, olive oil, the herbs, and the lemon zest. Toss through all the seasonings and then arrange the chicken piece skin side up in the pan. You can season the chicken pieces and set them up in the roaster up to a day before you cook them. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• Roast until the skin is nicely browned and there is no pink near the thigh bone and the juices run clear, about 35 to 40 minutes. Check both white meat and dark meat. If the white meat is done before the dark meat, take it out and set it on the serving plate until the dark meat is done.
• For the parsley drizzle, wash and dry the parsley. Remove the leaves from the stems and chop the leaves finely. Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and use immediately to garnish the roast chicken.
