101 Cooking For Two - Everyday Recipes for Two: Oven Baked Crispy Garlic Bone-in Skin-on (Split) Chicken Breast

This is a good one folks. You get a 5 rating with about less than 10 minutes of work (5 minutes if you're quick). It's got garlic. It's got spice. It's got crunch. And almost not work. And lastly, it's got loads of tasty goodness.

An oven based recipe since I really didn't have the time to pay attention to the grill today. I REALLY needed the make it, bake it and eat it thing tonight. And those chicken breasts needed to go.

I used some baking powder to increase the crispiness with good results. I added some cayenne for the touch of spice I wanted but mostly it was the garlic for the wife, the garlic fiend.

Rating

This is what you need. Start by preheating oven to 425 convection.

Trim the chicken of any trim-able fat and remove the rib area and discard.

Cut the chicken into chucks. The normal size ones in half and the super humungous ones into thirds.

Prepare a baking pan with aluminum foil, a baking rake and spray with PAM.

Combine spices and then sprinkle and rub on all surfaces.

Place on rake with larger pieces in the corners. And thinner edges to center.

Bake until internal temp of 165. About 35 minutes depending on your oven and thickness of the chicken.
