You should always cover chicken when baking so the moisture stays in the pan and the chicken is less likely to dry out. Adding some butter on top of the chicken and baking on a higher temp (like 400) for the last 10 min will ensure that you still get that great crispy skin, without the side effects of dry chicken.

∙ 10y agoYou can bake it with or without covering it. If you cover it the breast will cook but wont brown or crisp. However you can uncover it toward the end and rub with oil and salt to brown and crisp the skin! DO NOT cook uncovered for the whole time else it may burn on the outside before the centre is cooked!

∙ 16y agonot if you want crispy skin and a brown appearance if the chicken weighs alot like over 3+ pounds. then cover to make sure the chicken cooks thoroughly through before the outside dries out. a fryer usually does not need covering.

∙ 16y agoIt is really a matter of taste, covering it will bake faster and allow the chicken to stay moister. Cooking uncovered allows the chicken to cook crispier and brown more.

How long should you steam frozen chicken?
I would defrost the chicken breast before baking. Otherwise, the meat may not cook properly throughout the entire piece.
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.

Should you flip chicken when baking it?
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.
