Baked Chicken is probably the easiest and one of the healthiest ways to prepare chicken; all we need to do is rub the chicken with seasoning and place it in the oven to cook. The next best thing to baked chicken is Rosemary Baked Chicken; it is like placing your simple baked chicken one level higher in terms of flavor. This Rosemary Baked Chicken Recipe will guide you on how to quickly make your tasty baked chicken dinner.
While making baked chicken sounds easy, we need to remember that the chicken should be fully cooked before we serve it. I indicated the baking temperature and time in the recipe below. However, the thickness of the chicken breasts and the oven (brand and age) that we are using will not always be the same. Due to this reason, I strongly recommend the use of a meat thermometer every time you bake or roast meat such as this rosemary baked chicken. The safe temperature for chicken is 165F, but you can stop at 160F and let the residual heat cook the meat until 165F. This will ensure that the inside of the chicken breasts are cooked while leaving some moisture, which is an important thing to remember when making baked chicken.

vanjo when i use chicken wings instead of chicken breast, does the time and temperature are still the same? thanks and more power.
Vanjo Merano says
Hi Angelo. Glad to hear from you.
When using any type of chicken part, it is important to check the internal temperature of the meat. Ensure that the meat reaches 165F in order to be safe for consumption. You can use the same time and temperature for chicken wings though — you can even set the oven to broil mode on the last 3 to 5 minutes to give your wings a good texture.
