Remember to always 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.
It’s also important to note that these times are approximate and may vary depending on your oven’s performance and the specific chicken you’re using. Always check the chicken for doneness by cutting into the thickest part of the breast or thigh. If it’s cooked through, it should be white and juicy, with no pink color remaining.
