  • Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the skin is deeply golden and an instant‑read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast (without touching bone) registers 165°F. If the skin begins to char before the chicken is cooked through, loosely tent the pan with foil for the last 5-10 minutes.
