Answer 1

I always like to marinate my chicken in Italian dressing before I cook it, if I have time. Overnight is best, but several hours doesn't hurt. Drain the chicken and then make your favorite recipe. Here are some of my favorites:

1. Chicken and artichokes: saute chicken breasts until golden and place in baking dish. Top with quartered artichoke hearts and goat cheese. Cover and bake for 40 minutes or until juices run clear.
2. Stovetop baked chicken: sprinkle chicken with seasoned salt and fresh ground pepper. Saute on top of the stove until browned. Cover and let simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from pan and add 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil. Add Stovetop Stuffing Mix and remove from heat. Cover for 5 minutes and stir before serving. Top with chicken gravey.
3. Chicken Parmesan: sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Roll in flour and dip in egg wash. Roll in panko bread crumbs seasoned with salt, cayenne pepper, and parmesan cheese. Saute in olive oil until golden and remove from heat. Place in baking dish and cover with your favorite marinara sauce. Sprinkle with parmesan and mozarella cheese. Bake for 40 minutes or until bubbling. Serve with your favorite pasta.

Answer 2

I put lots of bbq sauce on the bottom, then add the chicken, then a lot more bbq sauce, and cover with tin foil. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. Turns out pretty tender.

I'm actually baking chicken right now with a rosemary, garlic, lemon paste...I use 4tbsp chopped rosemary (fresh), 1 tsp lemon zest, 1.5 tbsp lemon juice, 3 garlic cloves minced, 2 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tbsp olive oil all mixed together and rubbed onto the chicken, let it "marinate" for an hour in the fridge then bake it!

Answer 5

Sometimes I put a little Fajita seasoning on it along with other spices, add some lemon juice and let it marinate all day-then bake it and then 10 minutes before it is done-I brush a small amount of bbq sauce on it.

Answer 6

Tuck in some whole cloves of garlic in the legs, sprinkle with salt, pepper and oregano and a little paprika. Don't forget to put butter under the skin. Yum!

Bon Apetite!
