I only bake boxed goods lol... The Ghirardeli brownies are the best I've ever had and don't taste like they come out of a box.
I did *bake* (roast) some chicken last night though. Very simple recipe and tastes great:
2 bone-in and skin-on chicken breasts (with ribs).
The night before cooking:
1.Wash in cold water and pat dry very well.
2. Season with- liberal amounts of ground black pepper and kosher salt, a small amount of crushed tarragon, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides... Use more than you would if you were directly eating it.
3. Cover in plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge overnight.
The day you are baking it:
4. Preheat oven to 350f
5. Spray canola oil on the inside of an 8-9" glass baking dish
6. Place chicken breasts skin side up in the pan and spray the tops of them liberally with canola oil.
7. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes. Check doneness by poking with a sharp knife in the thickest part down to the bone. If liquid runs clear, it is done. If it is not clear, put back in for another 5 minutes.
8. Let rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking. Then eat!
This is best fresh IMO, but can also be cubed and used for tacos, pasta, etc.
