CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN
For pull-apart tender chicken with crisp, deeply spiced skin, rub it with a spicy-sweet mix and roast it low and slow while you're doing something else. Because this chicken is cooked at a moderately low temperature, the spices will bloom but not burn, and the chicken fat will render slowly and completely (which means you don't need any oil). The smoky rub in this recipe will turn the chicken skin into what tastes like a barbecue potato chip, but you can use other spice blends, too, like garam masala or Montreal steak seasoning. Just be sure your mix includes sugar for browning and salt for accentuating flavors. Whole chicken legs (with the thigh and drumstick attached) provide a more generous portion of juicy meat and skin that shatters, but a mix of drumsticks and bone-in thighs work, too.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper and cayenne with a fork or your fingers. Rub the spice mix all over the chicken. (You can do this step 1 to 12 hours ahead. Refrigerate uncovered, then bring to room temperature before cooking.)
- Place the chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin side up. Bake, without flipping, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Eat the chicken with pan drippings spooned over top.
- Use a light coating of oil: Excess oil can make the chicken greasy and unhealthy. Instead, use a light coating of cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Choose the right baking dish: Use a baking dish that is large enough to accommodate the chicken pieces without overcrowding. Overcrowding can prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and becoming crispy.
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before placing the chicken inside. This helps the chicken cook evenly and prevents it from becoming dry.
- Bake at a high temperature: Baking the chicken at a high temperature (400°F or higher) helps to create a crispy outer layer. However, keep an eye on the chicken to prevent it from burning.
- Flip the chicken halfway through cooking: Flipping the chicken halfway through the cooking time ensures that it cooks evenly on both sides.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should reach 165°F for safety.
- Let the chicken rest: After removing the chicken from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.
By following these tips, you can create crispy, healthy oven-baked chicken that is perfect for any meal. This cooking method is not only healthier than traditional fried chicken, but it also results in a more flavorful and tender dish. So next time you're craving crispy chicken, give this oven-baked recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
