CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN
For pull-apart tender chicken with crisp, deeply spiced skin, rub it with a spicy-sweet mix and roast it low and slow while you're doing something else. Because this chicken is cooked at a moderately low temperature, the spices will bloom but not burn, and the chicken fat will render slowly and completely (which means you don't need any oil). The smoky rub in this recipe will turn the chicken skin into what tastes like a barbecue potato chip, but you can use other spice blends, too, like garam masala or Montreal steak seasoning. Just be sure your mix includes sugar for browning and salt for accentuating flavors. Whole chicken legs (with the thigh and drumstick attached) provide a more generous portion of juicy meat and skin that shatters, but a mix of drumsticks and bone-in thighs work, too.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper and cayenne with a fork or your fingers. Rub the spice mix all over the chicken. (You can do this step 1 to 12 hours ahead. Refrigerate uncovered, then bring to room temperature before cooking.)
- Place the chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin side up. Bake, without flipping, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Eat the chicken with pan drippings spooned over top.

Tips:
- For a crispy and juicy chicken breast, start with boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
- To make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check for doneness by cutting into the chicken. The juices should run clear, not pink.
- For extra crispy chicken, coat the chicken breasts in a mixture of flour, salt, and pepper before baking.
- You can also add your favorite seasonings to the flour mixture for extra flavor.
- For a healthier option, you can bake the chicken breasts instead of frying them.
- To make sure the chicken breasts are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, don't overcrowd the baking sheet.
- Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Oven-crisp chicken breasts are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can create perfectly crispy chicken breasts that are sure to please everyone at the table.
