I’m not the most professional cook and seem to never know how long to cook my chicken, on what temp, covered vs uncovered— if anyone wants to do a huge chesed and give me a cheat sheet I would be soooooo grateful:

Bone in chicken legs
Bone in chicken thighs
Chicken cutlets
Boneless chicken thighs
Baby chicken (is that the same as chicken cutlets?)

Ah help!! Willing to even pay for this info llolll

So many different ways to do each.

Most chicken on bone can be baked for 2 to 2 1/2 hours covered or cooked for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Cutlets can be baked uncovered for about 20-30 minutes, depending on how big/thick the pieces are or fried for about 8-10 min each side.

I don't do boneless chicken other than cutlets and also not baby chickens.

Once we’re on this topic, could someone tell me how to defrost frozen raw pre-breaded schnitzel?

I’m going to give you the simplest and cheapest, because it uses a whole chicken:

You can also do it in the crockpot and it comes out amazing:

I mostly make bone in chicken thighs and legs

I sear them in each side, take the chicken out. Then saute onion on the pan. Put the chicken back in. Then I make a sauce with various spices and sauces depending on my mood that day. It can include a combination of any of these ingredients: olive oil, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, consommé, tumeric, sumac, honey, mustard, and hot water so that the chicken is at least 1/3 immersed.

Then I put it in the oven, covered for 2.5 hours at 350. I uncover it and bake it for another 10-15 min or so to make it crispy on top.

I often bake the chickn with various vegetables or herbs mixed in. Sometimes cherry tomatoes. Sometimes potato. Cilantro. Garbanzo beans. Dill. Anything really

The chicken always comes out very yummy and fall off the bone.

In short: 350 covered for 2 hours, make sure there’s liquid

Don't forget about broiling - it's our favorite way to make chicken on the bone.

You put the chicken in the pan, right side up, sprinkle on salt, garlic, and paprika, wet your finger and rub it all in a drop, then turn it over, do the same to the bottom.

Broil it that way, upside down for about 15 min on high, then turn it over and broil for about another 12-15, depending on how thick the pieces are. And that's it! VERY juicy and flavorful.

Bone in chicken legs or chicken thighs:

375 uncovered for 1 hour and 25 minutes for spiced roasted chicken. Perfect.
For sauced chicken it varies based on the sugar which makes it cook faster. So it can be 1 hour and 15 minutes for one sauce and just 1 hour for a honey based sauce which burns faster.

Chicken cutlets:

Thin sliced breaded cutlets should be placed in one layer on a cookie sheet (no overlapping). Preheated 400 oven for 20 minutes uncovered.

Boneless chicken thighs aka baby chicken:

If on a cookie sheet, 425 for 28 minutes.

I always cook chicken on the bone covered for 4 hrs on 300 and then uncover and raise to 350 til dark and crispy, The chicken ends up super soft and the skin crunchy. Converted my husband who previously didn't touch chicken on the bone.
Boneless chicken cutlets have lot of different ways of cooking. Coating in cornstarch before frying or marinating overnight in olive oil really helps avoid dryness. Also take out of fridge minimum half an hour-an hour before cooking, so chicken is room temp and not cold.

I like to do chicken on the bone on 350 covered for about 3 hours, then 30 minutes uncovered (it comes it very soft this way). If you don’t need it so soft then you can do 2 hours covered and 30 minutes uncovered.

Chicken cutlets I do on a real baking sheet with parchment paper on 375 for 10-12 minutes per side depending on thickness. I spray the parchment paper and the top of the chicken cutlets with Pam.

Dark chicken I do a coffee rub and olive oil. Sear for about 4 minutes per side in a grill pan then transfer to a disposable pan in the oven for 45 minutes covered on 350.

How much liquid do you add so it doesn’t dry out?

Totally depends on what type of chicken you're making. Shnitzels? Stir fry? Grilled chicken? Poached chicken? Chicken cooked on a stovetop in sauce?
Chicken cutlets have so many different forms....

You don't need a lot of liquid really. I do a small amount of olive oil and spices because I like to dip challah into the chicken flavored oil Hiding Hiding
If I'm making rice or pasta I'll make a sauce for the chicken, but more because I want to flavor the side dish, not because it needs that much liquid.
Chicken on the bone is hard to dry out, its the cutlets that are more prone to being dry and overcooked.

A meat thermometer is your best friend for perfectly cooked chicken. Internal temp should be 165°F

Chicken cutlets is 5-6 minutes per side in a Betty Crocker or on a Grill Pan or Grill.
No clue how to make chicken on the bone as I never make it. (Made it maybe 2-3 times in 10 years and followed an exact recipe then)

Bone chicken- depends how you like it. If you like it soft fall off the bone easily then keep it covered. 2.5 hours on 350.
If you like it more crispy then bake at 400 for about an hour and a half.
Chicken breast in oven can dry out easily so don’t cook more than 30 min.
