Ways to elevate your oven-baked chicken breast:
- For added flavor, use a spice rub and let the chicken sit at room temperature with the seasoning for 15-20 minutes before baking.
- Consider using a baking dish with a lid or covering the chicken with foil during baking to help retain moisture.
- Use a baking rack placed on top of the baking sheet to elevate the chicken, allowing air to circulate around it for more even cooking.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking dish, which can prevent the chicken from browning properly. If needed, bake in batches.
- For a golden brown and crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking before slicing or serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
