Oven-Baked Chicken image

If you love takeout fried chicken, you'll love this mess-free recipe that's a crispy, oven-baked alternative. The secret to this baked chicken recipe is adding the chicken to a baking dish that's already hot. This ensures the chicken starts cooking immediately and helps create a crispy, crackly skin that's even better than your takeout favorite.
