How to Make Baked Crispy Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
  3. Place mixture in a large resealable plastic bag.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  5. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces) to the lemon juice mixture and toss to coat.
  6. Add the chicken to the bag with the flour mixture; seal the bag and shake until chicken is evenly coated.
  7. Arrange chicken in a single layer on a large baking sheet (15x10 inches).
  8. Bake for 45 minutes.
  9. Turn on the broiler to high.
  10. Broil for 5-8 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown and crispy, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
