Easy Chicken Recipes to Make in the Oven

Ralph Smith

Are you in search of a crowd-pleasing, family meal that's easy to make and doesn't require much cleanup? While it might sound like an impossible feat, the answer is actually incredibly simple: Baked chicken! With these easy baked chicken recipes, the oven will do all the hard work so you can sit back, relax, and turn on your favorite Netflix movie. Whether you're looking for a sheet-pan supper, a cozy casserole recipe, or a simple method for roasted chicken, you can't go wrong with one of these baked chicken recipes.

We already know that there are tons of chicken recipes out there whether you try your hand at frying chicken or choose from a grilled chicken recipe. But one of the best (and most versatile) ways to prepare chicken is to bake it! Just look at all the creative options ahead! You can try sheet-pan spicy peanut chicken and broccoli, baked chicken wings, and a barbecue chicken salad that Ree calls one of her "go-to chicken recipes." While some of these ideas for baked chicken include veggies right in the same pan, you can also serve up your baked chicken with any one of your favorite side dishes for chicken—including rice, cornbread, or roasted potatoes. And if you have extra baked chicken, consider using it in these recipes for leftover chicken.
