For some reason, I can never get my chicken on the bone to have that moist, soft, falling-off-the-bone kind of texture. I always bake it covered, and try to make sure there is enough liquid/sauce on the bottom of the pan. What am I doing wrong? Any specific tips and/or recipes?

Thanks!

Here's my TnT recipe.
Skin legs. Marinate in equal parts oil and lemon juice, with spices like paprika, garlic, parsley.
Coat in cornflake crumbs. Bake at 375 for 2 hours.
Low, slow baking (maybe even at 350) gives moist soft chicken.

If you want it really falling off the bone soft, bake it on 350 covered for about 3 hours. It needs a long time for that sotness.

I bake it at 275 covered for a good 4 hours. then I make it on broil for 10-15 minutes for a nice color.

Marinating before baking helps to keep the meat moist. I usually do a mix of white wine, chopped vegetables (onion, celery, carrots), maybe a bit of herb if I have some handy. Just pour marinade and veggies together with chicken in ceramic or pyrex oven-proof casserole.

I cover with double-foil, cook in 150C for 2-3 hours. I also skin and use 1/8th cut roaster. If I want browner/less pale chicken, I may keep the skin on, dust flour salt & pepper and first sear.

use bone-in chicken bottoms. leave the skin intact.
bake tightly covered at 325 for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
this recipe, made in the crockpot, or in the oven as described above, makes melt in your mouth chicken.
you can use 4 garlic cloves cut in half instead of 20 whole ones if you are short on time.

I once tried this and I got dried out chicken, burnt potatoes and a pyrex dish that was impossible to clean Sad

I bake chicken on the bone in a bag, covered with garlic powder and Italian dressing, at 350 for 2 hours. It is incredibly delicious, falling off the bone.

If you're using glass or corningware, you would need to lower the oven temp significantly, and prob add water as well.

Best to use a disposable pan or non-disposable black roaster made for this purpose.

Thanks everyone! So it sounds like the trick is to keep the skin on and to bake it on low for a while.

Can I add rice withwater underneath chicken cooked this way for a one pot meal? Or will that affect the taste/texture of chicken?

FWIW my marinated coated chicken is skinned. May not come out exactly how you envisioned but not bad.
Re the rice, with the chicken of your choice - the rice is heavenly. Won't affect the chicken other than it having rice stuck on the bottom.

I don't know if it's my imagination, but I think when I buy good quality chicken and use it fresh (not frozen defrosted) it comes out good no matter how I make - I usually use the same method anyway - bake uncovered at 350 or 400 on (convection setting,now that I have one) for 1 1/2 hours uncovered.

I use a glass dish. I put it on 350-375 and no water. Bake for min 2.5 hours. It comes out great every time.

For a large crowd, you cut up sweet and regular potatoes, put it on bottom. Put unskinned chicken on top, cover in garlic powder/onion powder (you can put on a lot) and then cover the whole thing in duck sauce.
It's disgustingly unhealthy, I know, but it's a huge hit and people love it. (Maybe try to substitute a healthier sweet sauce.) Cover and bake on 350 for 3 hours. You can serve the potatoes in a separate bowl, and then- voila! - you have 2 dishes.

Sure.
See this post for falling off the bone soft chicken and rice.

When I do it, it's usually when I have to leave the house for a bit, so I'll put the oven on like 300 for 3 1/2 hours. (Or something like that.)

Use whole chickens, not cut-up pieces; it really makes a difference!

These are two of my favorite whole-roast recipes:
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/r......aspx - slow roast at a low temp = melts-in-your-mouth good.

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/b......aspx - a little more unusual, totally delicious.

Keep it tightly covered and heat through

I was just about to post about a recipe posted here for sticky chicken. Then I saw someone posted a sticky chicken recipe. It can only be described as moist, delicious and slides off the bones. Just plan your oven use because it really does need the 4-5 hours. This is the only recipe I leave skin on the chicken. It makes a big difference.
