Oven-baked chicken recipes simply make life easier. When we need to throw together a quick dinner on a busy weeknight (but don't want to serve pasta for the third time this week), we're looking to the ever-faithful chicken dinner. We always have an extra pack of chicken thighs on call in the freezer, and most baked chicken recipes only require a few pantry staples to help the dish come together. Simply throw together your go-to ingredients and let the oven do the work.

Some of these baked chicken recipes are made entirely in one pot; some come together alongside vegetables on a sheet tray. From Southern-style baked chicken (we're talking Oven-Baked BBQ Chicken and Hot Chicken Salad) to elegant, centerpiece-worthy choices like Roasted Chicken with Apples and Herbs, these baked chicken recipes have something for everyone. And don't worry, we haven't forgotten about the classics. Chicken pot pie, crispy chicken wings, and chicken alouette all made the list of our favorite chicken dinners. Search through the choices and pick something that catches your eye. But just between us, you can't go wrong. We have a feeling your list of go-to recipes is about to grow much longer.
