Time-Saver
Hints:
-
Cover the baking sheet in heavy-duty foil and then
proceed with oiling or spraying it to save clean
up time.
-
Dump all the pieces of chicken to a in a plastic
bag; add about 1 tablespoon oil. Close the bag and
massage the chicken pieces in the bag until well
coated.
Lower
Fat Hint: Instead of coating with oil, dip pieces
of chicken in a mixture of 1 beaten egg to 1/2 cup
milk; then drop the individual pieces of chicken in
the paper bag with mix and shake lightly to coat.
Let pieces dry completely before placing in the baking
pan. Bake as the above directions.
