For 1 or 2, if they are the fat breasts, I'd say start with about 10-12 minutes (maybe 8 minutes if just 1 breast). I often do 3 large breasts in about 15-20 minutes and they always come out super moist and delicious! (I only put some salt and pepper on them- that's it. Love it! And I'm not a "plain" white-meat fan!)
