Ensure your chicken is dry before coating for better adherence of the seasoning. Letting the coated chicken rest for 15 minutes before baking can enhance the flavor absorption.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover coated chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through, which helps maintain the crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the coating soggy.
