Super Long Baked Chicken

by Joan Robinett Wilson on May 25, 2011

I tried this recipe by Laurie Colwin for baked chicken  the other day.  I found it in Molly O’Neill’s New York Cookbook. It was really easy to prepare and quite tasty.  I used a combination of chicken thighs and breasts.  The 2 1/2 hour cooking time made the thighs divine and the coating/ crust supremely yummy, but the breasts were really, really dry. So big warning, DO NOT USE CHICKEN BREASTS!

Snohomish, WA is where you’ll find me, architect mom, ”drafting a life”; working from home as an architect, managing my family’s lives, forgetting to clean the house, building some crazy thing or another, sometimes cooking a great meal and always packing my kids horrible lunches.
