No More Dry Chicken Chicken

4.5(15)

My neighbor Steve and his girl were experimenting with a baked chicken recipe and came up a little gem I think. It creates for a really moist chicken without using a brine but with almost the same results. Hope you enjoy it much as we did. If you eat legs and wings with your fingers...have some napkins handy. *s*
