Tips:

  • To ensure a crispy coating, make sure the chicken is completely dry before breading.
  • For even cooking, use a baking sheet that is large enough to accommodate the chicken in a single layer.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet, or the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • Bake the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for white meat and 175°F (80°C) for dark meat.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
