My favorite way to eat chicken is if it is crispy… and this crispy oven baked chicken was PERFECT. I am so impressed with how this turned out. Chick-fil-a who? No need to go to chick-fil-a when you can make this healthy chicken from home. This chicken was the first component to one of my favorite combinations… chicken biscuits (biscuit recipe in my next blog post). I ate my first completely homemade from scratch chicken biscuit this morning and it was life changing.
And this chicken was super easy to make! I get so impatient for my food to cook but this chicken cooked so fast so I didn’t have to wait around long! You seriously need to consider making this chicken AND the biscuits because the combination was UNREAL.
