A whole chicken, rinse well with water, inside and out, dry, salt and pepper, any other spice you like, Mrs Dash is a good spice, inside and out, lightly coat with oil, put in pan, cover with foil, cook at 350 degrees for 1 hour, remove foil, cook 1/2 to 1 hour more, when done, cut a thick part of the bird, (between thigh and body), to make sure it is done, no pink, and juices running clear, remove , let sit for 20 min. before cutting.What is an easy recipe to cook chicken in the oven?
stove top - oven - crock pot:





Here are a few E-Z recipes you might want to try. Good Luck %26amp; enjoy.





COLA CHICKEN


(And more variations of recipe)


(My favorite for Wings or Ribs...yum..yum!)





4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts


1 cup catsup


1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)





Put chicken in a non-stick pan.


Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.


Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.


(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from sticking to pan)


Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce


becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.


It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!





You can double the recipe and use more pieces of


chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot sauce....presto ';Hot Wings';!





I have used Ribs, just as good.





I tried this recipe with 'meatballs'....was equally


as good...served over rice.





I found another variation.....omit the catsup and add a small jar of Salsa (any variety).


I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup....not).


You'd think a recipe with only '3' ingredients couldn't be messed up....wouldn't you??


Well...while I was preparing to fix the 'Cola Chicken' recipe


using Salsa.....I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my


husband...(just proves...I can't do two things at once)....mixed Salsa %26amp; Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out the catsup) %26amp; Cola........still turned out really tasty (to me)...might be a little sweeter than some of you like.





I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)


but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for ';HOT';) Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).





Finally....!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken......that's good , too.





Another (bright)idea.....I thought of trying......replace the


catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce...and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp.....!


Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce......eh...wasn't all that


great...was OK...probably won't be fixing it again.





Also tried beef stew cuts......that was pretty good.....I can see


myself making this again.


Served both over rice.....think the stew cuts would have been just as


good over noodles.





Try little cocktail wieners/sausages鈥or appetizers.











CRUNCHY ONION CHICKEN





1 1/3 cups French鈥檚 Original French Fried Onions


4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves


1 egg, beaten





LIGHTLY CRUSH:





Onions in a plastic bag.





DIP:


Chicken in egg





COVER:


With onion crumbs, press firmly to adhere to chicken.





BAKE:


Preheat oven to 400 degrees.


Place chicken on lightly greased baking pan.


Sprinkle with additional onion crumbs, if desired.


Bake for 20 minutes or until no longer pink in center.








Mushroom Chicken





4 boneless/skinless chicken breast (or any pieces you like)


1 can cream of mushroom soup.


1 can water





Place chicken in crock pot (or sauce pan for stove top cooking)


mix soup %26amp; 1 can of water together


pour over chicken


cook on medium heat until boiling then reduce heat and cook until chicken is really tender %26amp; falling apart.





Serve over noodles or rice or dressing....or???
throw the chicken pieces in a baking dish and cover with some bbq sauce and a bit of terriaki if you have it. season with dried or fresh onion, spices such as garlic pepper, mrs. dash, etc and cover. Put in preheated 350 oven for about an hour. will be wonderful with rice and corn etc.
i have thrown a well seasoned (salt %26amp; pepper) whole chicken in an oven bag and added potatoes (preferably red), onion, carrots, celery and about 3/4 cup of chicken broth. baked at 325 for about 2 hours or until the juices run clear). my kids love it and it's super easy!
