This is the BEST baked chicken I've ever had. It's pretty inexpensive and has a great depth of flavor. I got it from finecooking.com. Everyone in my family loves it. You can vary the herbs but stick to the heartier ones that roast well (thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano). I often use dried herbs in a pinch. I serve it with quick cooking rice blend cooked in chicken broth.

- Dredge the chicken, skin side down, in the butter herb mixture and arrange skin side up in dish. Sprinkle chicken with the salt and pepper.
