You can roast or bake anywhere between 325 and 450 degrees F.

Is it better to bake chicken at 350 or 400?
For the best skin, heat the oven to 425xb0F. I think most folks truly underestimate the importance of baking chicken in a hot oven. If the oven isnx26#39;t hot enoughonly in the 350xb0 to 400xb0F rangethe chicken will overcook before it can brown. At 425xb0F, the chicken is well browned yet still juicy after about an hour.

Bake a 4-oz. chicken breast at 350xb0F (177u02daC) for 25 to 30 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature is 165u02daF (74u02daC).
