How to Make Creole Oven Bake Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly spray a large (9x13 inch) glass baking dish with butter-flavored cooking spray.
  3. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Creole seasoning evenly over the bottom of the dish.
  4. Arrange 4 lbs of bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, or a mix) in the baking dish.
  5. Generously season chicken with freshly ground black pepper to taste and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of Creole seasoning.
  6. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes.
  7. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful chicken.
