CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN AKA FINGER-LICKIN-CHICKEN

 

Crispy, juicy, spicy finger-lickin’-chicken. This recipe is all kinds of good. The chicken is at once crispy and covered in a juicy glaze. It’s a little like eating fried chicken, but not fried, so also not like fried chicken. More like the best crispy baked chicken you will ever taste. Big call, but I’m backing myself on this one.

Get ready to learn that patience is a virtue because it lands you glorious things like this.
