Fried Chicken in the Oven with Lime and Chilies
Chicken is great when oven-fried and making oven-fried chicken is simple. It’s healthier than deep frying and still produces perfect crispy chicken. I love using wings but you could use drumsticks if you prefer. They’d take a few extra minutes, remember.
