Baked Chicken Breast on the Bone
Make the juiciest chicken breasts baked on the bone following my tips and tricks. Flavoured with a garlic herb butter, this perfectly roasted Chicken will surely impress your family and friends.
Equipment
- baking tray
- carving knife
Ingredients
- 950 gram chicken breasts on the crown (2 chicken breasts)
- 1 tablespoon herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary) chopped
- 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon garlic chopped
- 40 gram unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Combine the butter with chopped garlic, chopped herbs like parsley, thyme, rosemary and grated lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
- Gently with your finger go under the skin of the chicken forming a little pocket. Place the butter into these pockets and spread out evenly by stroking the skin on the top. Alternatively you can use a piping bag and pipe the butter under the skin.
- Rub the chicken from the outside with a small amount of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the baking tray with the chicken in a pre-heated oven at 180°C (350°F). Cook the chicken for 40 minutes pouring the cooking liquid over the chicken with a spoon occasionally (also referred to as basting)
- Rest the chicken for at least 5 minutes and remove the breasts from the bone with a carving knife.
- Serve with your favourite sides.
