  • Season your chicken well: Season the chicken with a variety of spices and herbs before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.

  • Serve the chicken immediately: Serve the chicken hot out of the oven. The chicken will be crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside.
