How to Make Baked Taco Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons taco seasoning, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/4 cup milk.
  4. Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, then add to the bag with the flour mixture. Seal the bag and shake until chicken is evenly coated.
  5. Place coated chicken pieces, bone-side down, in a greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
  6. Bake uncovered for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
