Chicken Paprika
"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."

Not sure what we liked better how crispy the skin turned out or how moist and flavorful the meat was. The easy of this recipe was an added bonus. We rarely buy chicken with the skin on so was shocked this morning when the only skin on chicken I could get was thighs. Baked at 355 F for 35 minutes, thanks for the keeper of a recipe. -
180 c = about 350 f. bone in like 50 mins -
I am always on a lookout for split chicken breast recipes and this one was a huge hit. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe with us. -
Delicious moist and juicy chicken! I used a bone in breast and it was huge so I had to cook about 50 minutes. Easy to make and so tasty - thanks for sharing the recipe!

These were good. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts. They were tender and moist. I baked them on a cookie sheet. I think next time I will use a baking dish so that I can baste them as they bake. Thanks for a great recipe Chef Pots.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
