"Crispy skinned roasted chicken breast. Yummo. Based on boneless breasts weighing about 250g each. Better still if you can get it on the bone. In the last few years getting chicken breast on the bone has been very hard to say the least so now I buy a small chicken (about 1.2k to 1.5k) and quarter it (use back to make stock) and cook for about 30 to 35 minutes in a baking tray. For a larger chicken 1.75k to 2k (you will have to up the garlic butter mix) you will need about 45 to 50 minutes. Down the temperature by about 5 to 10 degree C for fan forced ovens. DO NOT waste that garlic butter that will be in the baking dish, drizzled over steam vegetables, put into mashed potato or decant into a container and it is great to spread over bread for garlic bread."

Such a simple dish with great flavor. The skin was crispy and the inside was tender and moist. Thanks, Pat for sharing a nice keeper. Made for FYC tag.

This chicken recipe is divine, a few basic ingredients make a tender, juicy and great tasting chicken. I used bone in large chicken breast. Because of how big they were they needed 1 hour cook time. This will see to many repeats! Thx for sharing your recipe here.
