How to Make Roast Chicken Breast Bone In Skin On

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the skin crisp up nicely.
  3. Season generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs (rosemary, thyme, and garlic powder are great choices!).
  4. Place the chicken breasts in a roasting pan or baking dish. Add a tablespoon of olive oil (optional) to the bottom of the pan.
  5. Roast for 20-22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). A meat thermometer is your best friend here!
  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more tender meat.
  7. Serve and enjoy! Consider adding a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
