  6. Line the baking sheet with aluminum foil (so that you don’t have to clean later) and put the wire rack on top. Place the chicken on rack skin side down first.

  7. Preheat the broiler on high for 3 minutes and place the baking sheet 6 inch away from the top (middle oven rack) and broil for 10 minutes, or until nicely browned. Then flip the chicken (now skin side is up) and broil for another 10 minutes. The cooking time will vary depending on the oven.

  8. If you don't have a broiler: You can bake it instead. Bake at 425-450 ºF (220-230 ºC) for 45 minutes. Monitor the cooking time – the chicken is cooked through when internal temp is 165 ºF (74 ºC).

  9. For chicken thigh or breast: Preheat oven to 425 ºF (220 ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the meat on top. Bake for 30-40 minutes (depending on the part and thickness). Turn the chicken over halfway during the cooking process.

  10. For chicken drumstick: Preheat oven to 425 ºF (220 ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the meat on top. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until internal temp is 165 ºF (74 ºC). Turn the chicken over halfway during the cooking process.

  11. Serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

The oven-safe wire rack helps getting rid of the oil from the chicken while cooking and wings will get crispy.
