Instructions
- Cut the chicken into parts.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken overnight to enhance the taste. If you want a lighter option, Greek yogurt can be used instead of mayonnaise. Fresh herbs like thyme or basil can substitute for oregano. Ensure your broiler is preheated for optimal browning, and check the chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F for safety.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Vernon’s Chicken Supreme alongside roasted Mixed Vegetables(No Fat) for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Spiced Rice or a fresh salad for a light option. For a heartier dinner, consider adding a side of Brother Stan'S Crawfish Gumbo for a unique twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes until heated through, ensuring it stays moist. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the chicken rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use skinless chicken for this recipe?
Yes, skinless chicken can be used, but the result may be less crispy and flavorful. The skin helps retain moisture and adds a nice texture when broiled. If using skinless chicken, consider increasing the marinade time or adding more seasoning for extra flavor.
What can I serve with Vernon’s Chicken Supreme?
This dish pairs well with various sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. For something heartier, try serving it with mashed potatoes or Brother Stan'S Crawfish Gumbo. A light, citrusy salad can also complement the richness of the chicken nicely.
Can I make this recipe with boneless chicken?
Absolutely! Boneless chicken will cook faster than bone-in pieces, so adjust your cooking time accordingly. It’s recommended to broil boneless chicken for about 20-25 minutes total, turning halfway through. Keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.
