To keep the chicken moist in the over, you can...
1. Brine the Chicken: Soak the chicken in a brine solution (water, salt, and sometimes sugar) for a few hours before cooking. This helps the chicken retain moisture during cooking.
2. Use a Marinade: Marinating the chicken in an acidic mixture (like lemon juice or vinegar) with oil and spices can help keep it moist.
3. Cover with Foil: Cover the chicken with aluminum foil while baking to trap moisture. Remove the foil towards the end to allow the skin to crisp up.
For using regular oven, I usually preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Then roast the chicken for approximately 20 minutes per pound (about 45 minutes per kilogram). For example, a 4-pound (1.8 kg) chicken would take about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
