Cooking
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the chicken for about 35–40 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

Ensure the chicken is well-coated with the seasoning for a flavorful bite. For extra crispiness, try air frying the chicken or fries if you have an air fryer. Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; this allows the chicken and fries to cook evenly. Store leftovers separately in airtight containers.
