How to Keep Baked Chicken From Spattering

Cleaning your oven after baking chicken gets tiresome. That's why it's helpful to learn how to prevent chicken from spattering while it cooks. As the chicken heats it's not unusual for its juice to hit the hot pan and explode in the air. The flying juices leave a greasy film where ever it lands. If not cleaned, it will burn off, but while doing so it creates a heavy smoke which may set off your smoke detector. Avoid the drama by preventing the chicken from spattering in the oven.

Things You'll Need

  • Seasoning paste
  • Roasting pan, with lid
  • Cooking spray
  • Potatoes, sliced
  • Onions, sliced
  • Aluminum foil

Instructions

  1. Make a seasoning paste to rub on the chicken. You can pour oil on the chicken and season it with salt, black pepper and garlic powder, and other spices. But if you pour too much oil in the pan it will coat the bottom of the pan. Add heat and the loose oil will spatter the oven. Creating a paste out of your oil and seasoning will prevent excess oil from spattering.

  2. Spray the bottom of the roasting pan with oil and layer the potato and onion slices. Set the chicken on top of the potatoes. The potatoes will absorb and bake in the chicken juices while preventing the chicken juice from erupting.

  3. Cover the top of the chicken-filled roasting pan with a lid or aluminum foil. Tent the aluminum foil or fit it smoothly across the pan. Either way, the foil will catch the chicken spatters before they can dirty the oven.
