Baked Chicken is one of my favorite meals! With a quick marinade and an even quicker bake time, you can have a meal on the table in no time at all!
In the cooler months, BBQ and grilled Chicken is always on the table but come warm weather, we switch over to cooking most food in the oven. Baked chicken over steady heat helps to seal the juices in, keeping your chicken nice and moist. The higher heat gives a nice sear adding the char that we all love so much!
A marinade is the perfect way to add flavor to baked chicken (and it can help tenderize). I try to allow for 30 minutes or more if possible! The marinade in this recipe caramelizes on the outside of the chicken when baked, creating a beautiful flavor and an incredibly juicy tender chicken.
