baked chicken

Roasted bird dish

Baked chicken is chicken cooked in an oven rather than fried, grilled, or stewed.

The term typically implies pieces with skin and bone—thighs, drumsticks, breasts—roasted until the exterior browns and the meat cooks through: We're having baked chicken with roasted vegetables for dinner.

A whole roasted bird is more often called roast chicken.
