  • Add some spices. Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper give the chicken a delicious flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave some space between the chicken pieces so they can cook evenly.
  • Bake the chicken until it's golden brown. This will ensure that it's cooked through and crispy.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce are all great options.
