Do You Cover Baked Chicken When You Put It In The Oven?
It depends on the recipe and cooking method. If the recipe doesn’t specify, then it’s usually a personal preference. Covering the chicken with foil during baking can help keep it moist and prevent it from drying out, but it may not result in crispy skin. Leaving it uncovered can result in crispy skin, but it may also dry out the meat. Ultimately, it’s up to the cook to decide whether or not to cover the chicken during baking.
