How To Make Baked Chicken Juicy?

Baking chicken is really easy but baking a chicken just right so that's juicy and moist inside requires perfect timing and the right temperature. Overcooking your chicken will only cause it to dry out and has very little flavor. So how do you make baked chicken juicy?

First of all you need to know the right baking time for the chicken parts you're baking. Most recipes will tell you at what oven temperature you should bake and how long. Do not over-bake the chicken unless you know what you're doing. When the chicken is done, you want to remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This is actually a very important step in keeping a baked chicken juicy because doing so will allow the juices to reform throughout the meat and thus giving you that moist and tender flavor.

In short, the best way to bake a moist and juicy chicken is to cook it just right and never overcook it. Just poke a knife or fork into the meat and see if the juices run clear. If juices are clear and not pinkish, it's time to stop the baking process and remove the cheat from the oven. Be sure to let it rest for at least 5 minutes before you cut into it to prevent the juices from escaping and causing the chicken to be dry and lose its flavors.
