how long to bake bone-in chicken breast at 375
The baking time for bone-in chicken breast at 375°F (190°C) will depend on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts. Here are some general guidelines:
* Small bone-in chicken breasts (6-8 ounces each): 30-40 minutes
* Medium bone-in chicken breasts (8-12 ounces each): 40-50 minutes
* Large bone-in chicken breasts (12-16 ounces each): 50-60 minutes
* Extra-large bone-in chicken breasts (16 ounces or larger): 60-70 minutes
It’s essential to check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches a safe minimum internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
Additionally, you can check for doneness by:
* Checking the juices: When you cut into the thickest part of the breast, the juices should run clear.
* Checking the color: The chicken should be white and opaque, with no pinkish color remaining.
Remember to let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute and the chicken to retain its moisture.
Keep in mind that these times are approximate, and the actual baking time may vary depending on your oven and the specific chicken breasts you are using. Always prioritize food safety and check the internal temperature to ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe temperature.
