    4. 4. Bake 50 to 60 min...baste frequently. Check chicken for doneness, clear juices when pricked.
    5. 5. With slotted spoon, place chicken on serving platter.... spoon some juices over top. To the rest of the juices, add in the parsley, and pass in a gravy boat.
    6. 6. TO SERVE Cool....Cold to room temperature in juices before moving to the serving platter....If chicken has been made ahead and refrigerated, let it return to room temperature before serving.
