Baking chicken in the oven
Can I bake small pieces of chicken in the oven on a metal bake sheet? Or would glassware be better? When I say small, I mean 1/2 inch pieces
Best Answer
I think you are better off sauting small pieces of chicken on the stove. Small pieces of chicken cook very quickly and can dry out in the oven.

Is it better to bake chicken at 350 or 400?
The reason why baking chicken breast at 400 F is better than 350 F is that cooking them at a high temperature will require fewer minutes and will garner more color.How long does a chicken take to bake at 400?
A medium size chicken breast (5 to 6 ounces each), takes approximately 20 to 25 minutes to bake in a 400 degree oven. I always bake chicken breasts at 400 degrees Fahrenheit as the high temperature helps seal in the juices (and the flavor).How long should you cook chicken in an oven?
Here's the shortest answer we can give you: For large boneless, skinless chicken breasts: cook them 20 to 30 minutes in a 375 degrees F oven. For large bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts: cook them 35 to 40 minutes in a 375 degrees F oven.How long does baked chicken take at 350?

yes, you can cook small pieces in the oven. If you're cooking a whole panful, a greased metal pan would likely be best (or greased chicken on your metal pan, whichever). When I'm cooking just a few pieces of something, one person's worth, I'll sometimes just pop them on the baking stone or even just on the rack - though your tolerance for such shortcuts may vary.
For such small pieces, they'll likely cook pretty quickly, so you might want to consider that when choosing how to cook them, though. If you pan is large enough for them to be fairly spaced out, I would suggest preheating your oven well, and turning it off as soon as the chicken is placed inside - they will cook in residual heat, and the cooking will be both a bit slower (less likely to overshoot) and less direct (less likely to cook unevenly, say, burned on top). Of course, if you're cooking enough to crowd the whole pan, you might want to adjust your cooking method suitably.
