Versatile and delicious, chicken [1] can be cooked in countless ways. But there's something about baking the bird — covering it in a crispy breading or flanking it with tender vegetables — that keeps you coming back for more. Healthier than frying [2] and less hands-on than pan searing, the oven method is the perfect one for wholesome, yet simple, chicken dinners [3]. Here are 18 dishes that prove once you bake, you never go back.
