This Italian Baked Chicken Recipe is easy to make and may help break out of that common, boring chicken routine. Preheat your oven to 450 and make sure you have a rack in the middle. – Take a whole chicken cut into pieces. Wash it well under cold water. Be sure to leave the skin on. Pat all the pieces dry using paper towels. – In a large bowl coat the chicken with olive oil. – Combine half a tablespoon each of salt, black pepper, thyme, sage, basil, and garlic powder in a small bowl and mix thoroughly. – Sprinkle the seasoning on the coated chicken and mix well so that all the chicken is covered with an ample amount of olive oil and seasoning. – On the stove top heat a large, oven-safe, heavy pan or pot with a small amount of olive oil in it. – When the pan is very hot, slowly add each piece of chicken skin down. Turning over once so that each side is well browned. – Once each side is browned, move the whole pan or pot to the oven. – Bake until completely cooked. Approximately 25 minutes.
