How to Make Baked Italian Chicken
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Rinse 4 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (thighs, breasts, or drumsticks) thoroughly and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- In a shallow dish, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter.
- In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 1/2 cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Dip each chicken piece in the melted butter, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge each piece in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Arrange the coated chicken pieces in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
