Could someone please tell me how much to increase the cooking time when using bone-in chicken instead of boneless chicken (which is what the recipe calls for)?

Thanks!

edited to "how much to increase cooking time" instead of what temperature to use. Don't know what I was thinking!

I would think oven temperature stays the same and if your'e that concerned, increase cooking time and check internal meat temperature with a meat thermometer.

The temperature does stay the same but slightly increase the time.

I cook at the same temperature that the recipe requires for both bone-in or boneless chicken. With the boneless chicken, I'd shorten the cook tme.

Thank you, that's what I meant to ask...duh! How much would you increase the time...5 minutes, maybe?

You can insert a fork between the bone and meet on thick side near the bone to check.  

Next time, if you end up with bone in breasts, videos show how to debone a breast if you'd like to try, it's not hard.

@ECBG  Thanks!

I keep mostly bone-in breasts and roast them in the oven as needed.  They are wonderful and so easy to peel the meat off after they are cooked. I think they are a lot better in chicken salads or any other dish calling for cooked breast meat than boneless skinless.

If you are of a mind, save the roasted bones in a bag in the freezer and make broth when you have several.  The broth from them is great!

I cook boneless chicken breasts at 400 for 20 minutes.  Bone in for 40

How did your chicken breasts turn out?
