Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Toss the chicken pieces in the mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Place the chicken in a single layer on a baking sheet, skin-side up.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.

Notes
For a crispy skin, sear the chicken in a hot pan before baking. Brining for 30 minutes can enhance moisture and flavor.
