Do you have to cover with foil bake chicken in the oven?

It is not necessary to cover bake chicken in the oven with foil. While covering with foil can result in more tender meat, it may take longer to cook and can prevent the skin from becoming crispy. For juicy and crispy chicken, try cooking it uncovered at a higher temperature for a shorter time. Additionally, adding a layer of herbs and seasonings with a little butter or oil can enhance the flavor and crispiness of the chicken skin.
