How Do You Cook Chicken In An Electric Oven?
Chicken can be prepared a number of ways in an electric oven. Not only can you roast a chicken like a turkey, you can also oven fry, broil or make a casserole. Other than basic equipment, like a roasting pan and meat thermometer, no fancy gadgets are needed. Depending on what type of chicken is being cooked; whole, breast or thighs, the chicken can be done and on the table in less than an hour. Check your oven racks to make sure the top rack is in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a whole chicken by removing the giblets and rinsing the chicken under cold running water. Place the chicken in a roasting pan. Baste the chicken with a bit of melted butter or olive oil, using a basting brush or turkey baster, and add 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of the pan. Cover with the pan lid or aluminum foil. Place in the preheated oven and allow to cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest portion of the thigh reads 190 degrees. Baste the chicken every 30 m
