Easy Roast Chicken Breast



4 Bone-In Chicken Breasts, skin on
4 Cloves Garlic, chopped
1/4 Cup Fresh Thyme Leaves, chopped
1 Small Red Onion, chopped
1 Tbls. Poultry Seasoning
1 Tsp. Salt
1/4 Cup Butter (Melted) or Olive Oil


Combine everything except chicken.  With the back of a spoon, press the seasonings into butter or oil.  Butter is better for the soul, oil is better for the heart.  You choose.  Or don't- I went half and half and that worked pretty well.  Regardless of the fat you choose, this should smell all fragrant and savory.


Preheat oven to 375.  Rub the rub under the chicken skin.  Drip remaining fat and rub onto top of skin.  Place on roasting rack, and cook until internal temp reaches 165- approximately 45 minutes.  If skin isn't crispy by the time temp reaches 160, raise oven temp to 450.

Let chicken rest for 5-10 minutes.

This recipe really interesting for dressing ingredients and the way you cook. It's amazing to hear this "Butter is better for the soul, oil is better for the heart" This is first time I heard this. I always think "Better & oil" mean of "FAT"
This is a true easy cecipe.
Enjoy Your Kitchen.
