Do I HAVE to flip over chicken breasts halfway through baking? Is it going to screw it up that bad if I don't flip it?

You should only flip them if they still have their bones in them, otherwise it does not do any good.

No you don't have to flip them, but they'll brown evenly on both sides & cook more evenly if you do.

hey baby, it's a free country.

You don't even HAVE to cook the damn chicken breasts. Hell, just go find a free range chicken and start nawing on it
