To brown chicken, coat it with butter, soy sauce, paprika, or a commercial browning sauce. When you're cooking chicken parts, put the larger, meatier parts near the outside. Tuck the giblets under the breast. To keep moisture in the meat and to avoid spatter, cover the chicken with wax paper, a glass cover, or plastic wrap with one corner folded back for a vent. Remember, standing time is important.
Chicken continues to cook after the oven is turned off.
