Christmas Day Chicken image

I've been fixing this delicious chicken for Christmas dinner for over 10 years. It's convenient since you refrigerate it overnight, then simply coat with crumbs and bake. It comes out crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. -Marcia Larson, Batavia, Illinois

I've tried many Christmas chicken recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The chicken was incredibly juicy and tender, and the flavors were spot-on. My guests raved about it, and I'm sure I'll be making it again next year.
