Interesting question. It would be hard to avoid baking anything on both sides. Baking is pretty much an all around process. But you could lay a chicken on it's side and by baking it that way you would get two different results on each side. On the top side the skin would be crispy and the meat drier than on the other side. On the bottom side the skin would be soggy and the meat juicier.

Always cook your chicken until it is done. Undercooked chicken is an environment for dangerous pathogens.

If you are baking chicken pieces then it helps to brown them evenly if you turn them over halfway through baking time. If you are roasting a whole chicken in the oven place it in the roasting pan breast side up and leave it that way.

How long does chicken take to bake at 400 degrees?

If the chicken is a whole chicken and not cut into pieces, it needs to be baked about 20 minutes per pound. Baking it at a higher temperature like that, you should start it off covered with foil, then remove the foil the last 30 minutes of baking to allow the chicken to brown. I get much better results when baking a chicken by baking it on a rack, and first baking it bottom side up (with the back of the chicken on top), then turning it over half way through the baking time. The reason for this is that the back of the chicken (the dark meat) has a higher fat content, which helps keep the breast (the white meat) from drying out. It also helps ensure even browning of the whole chicken. This also works well when roasting a turkey.


How do you make roast chicken skin crispy?

The recipe for crispy chicken requires that the chicken be dredged in egg, or buttermilk. It should then be battered with flour, baking soda, and seasonings and then fried. Adding baking soda to the flour helps the chicken to become crisper.
