Answers:
See if this will help give you a hint or two!. I'm thinking you need to take the skin off!. Or maybe your oven needs to be adjust, it might be cooking too hot!.

My oven also has a "pre-heat" setting which is a lot hotter than just "bake"!. Be sure you are on bake!. My favorite chicken recipe starts out with a piece of aluminum foil loosely covering the chicken for the first 45 minutes at 425 degrees, then take off the foil and 15 minutes at 450 degrees!. Have the rack in the middle of the oven!. (Chicken with skin on, shaken in flour and melted butter brushed on top!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com
When you put them in the baking dish (I always use a 13x9 glass cake pan), put water in the bottom on the dish -- not much, but a quarter inch or so!. also, if the top of the chicken is burning, cover them with foil!. Vent the foil once you've put it over the pan!. About 10 minutes or so before you want to serve it, take the foil off so that the chicken can get a little brown, though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Maybe you need to put a cheap oven thermometer in there to see if your temperature is off!. If the only thing burning is your chicken, lower the rack maybe, and cook your chicken at 325 instead!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
If the chicken itself is burning, your oven temperature is WAY off!. get your oven looked at!.
If it's just the pan juices burning, pour some water in the pan, or chicken broth if you plan to use the drippings!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Make sure your oven is set to bake!.!.!.not broil!.!.!.If it set to bake then your oven is getting much hotter than it should!.At 350 your chicken should bake for 1 hour with out the chance of burning!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
