Steps
To make the Oven-Baked Chicken with Herbs, first use scissors or poultry shears to cut the chicken in half.
Place it in a bowl or a baking tray lined with parchment paper to marinate in oil and wine.
Massage it inside and out.
Add your preferred herbs or the ones I recommended, the unpeeled garlic cloves, and the coarse salt.
Cook it in a preheated ventilated oven at 375°F for 90 minutes, turning it halfway through to brown the skin.
Serve hot or cold, depending on your preference.
You can prepare the chicken in advance, marinate it, cook it, and reheat it even when cut into pieces.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I add peppers and cherry tomatoes?
Certainly, but only when you put the chicken in the oven, after washing and cutting them.
