Blueridge Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I tried this today and it was so easy and so delicious, that I wanted to share. It makes the chicken moist and tender and flavored, just like the rotisserie chicken from the store. Once the baking hour was up, I put the chicken breasts and juices into my crockpot on low for an hour to keep warm until dh and dd got home. Oh my, everybody loved it. 6 chicken breasts , with bone and skin ½ cup butter , melted 1 ½-3 teaspoons Season-All salt (I use McCormick's) Directions: 1.Preheat oven to 400°F. 2.Spray a shallow baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. 3.Rinse chicken breast under cool running water. 4.Pat chicken dry with paper towels. 5.Place chicken in dish. 6.Brush the melted butter over the chicken, using all the butter. 7.Sprinkle with seasoned salt. 8.Bake for 50-60 minutes or until cooked through. Avoid overcooking. :drool5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onceuponatime Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hey, we had this for dinner tonight! I used a whole chicken, olive oil, and sprinkled the inside of the chicken with seasoned salt too. I also sprinkle on poultry seasoning. I've been making chicken this way for years.

Remudamom Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 So funny! I heard someone in a store the other day telling someone else about this recipe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGin Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Definitely! I have done this for years and my family loves it. Leaves a yummy, crackly crust and the inside so moist. Mmmmm :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debbie in OR Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Do you cover with aluminum foil or leave uncovered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2bdeutmeyer Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 This could be applied to a whole chicken as well, right? I have 2 of them in my deep freezer just waiting to be baked. I've never made one before though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onceuponatime Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Do you cover with aluminum foil or leave uncovered? Leave uncovered for a nice crispy skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Do you cover with aluminum foil or leave uncovered? Uncovered so the skin gets crispy. I have been baking chicken this way for years, didn't know it was a recipe. It's just what I do. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never made one before though. Yes, a whole chicken takes longer to cook, though. Sprinkle the inside with seasoned salt as well and baste with the cooking juices about half way through.

Suzanne115 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Could this method be used with boneless, skinless, chicken breasts too? It sounds so good! Suzanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just what I do. :001_smile: Yeah I wouldn't call it a recipe just the standard way to bake chicken. Get a chicken, rub with fat and season. Roast chicken recipes are just variations on the fat and seasonings used. Tip for whole chickens. To get it to cook faster just spatchcock it.

momto2Cs Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Instead of butter, you can try good coconut oil too (the cold pressed kind is best). Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
