How To Make crispy oven baked chicken

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  • Step 2
    In a small bowl, combine all the spice ingredients and set aside.
  • Step 3
    In a bowl, combine hot sauce and eggs; whisk very well. Place chicken pieces in a large bowl and pour sauce mixture over; coat well.
  • Step 4
    In another bowl, combine flour, bread crumbs, baking powder and spice mix; whisk well. Transfer flour mixture to a re-sealable plastic bag. Add a couple pieces of chicken at a time, close the bag, and shake until well coated.
  • Step 5
    Place floured chicken pieces on a lightly greased rack sitting on a baking sheet lined with foil. Using cooking spray or an oil diffuser, spray chicken pieces on both sides.
  • Step 6
    Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF, rotating the baking sheet half way through cooking. When time is up, flip chicken pieces and bake for an extra 5 to 8 minutes or until skin is crispy. Remove from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
