1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.

   While the oven warms up, take your chicken pieces and gently remove the skin, giving them a good wash to ensure they’re nice and clean.

   Once the chicken is well-coated, place it in a 9x13 inch baking dish, cover it with foil, and let it rest for a moment while you prepare the next steps.
