How to Make Baked Chili Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  3. Add chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat evenly, following package directions for the coating mix.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
