Baked bone-in chicken breasts have a lot more flavor than boneless skinless breasts. I have started using split breasts that are bone-in with the skin-on more and more lately.

The chicken is easy to prepare and you can serve it with a variety of different side dishes.

A lot of the time I will settle for boneless chicken breasts but the truth is, roasting bone-in chicken breast with the skin on in the oven is far more flavorful and delicious. The chicken in his recipe is coated with seasoning and then fried in a pan for a few minutes and finished cooking in the oven. You can cook these fully in the oven if you want but the cook-time will be a little longer, so make sure that you check the chicken with a meat thermometer to make sure that it is fully cooked. Frying the chicken breast in the pan helps to get the skin crispy. I like to throw in a few cut up red potatoes cover in olive oil with a little salt and pepper. It is delicious. Enjoy.

You can use your favorite brand of bottled ranch for this recipe. Enjoy.

These chicken bites go great served with honey-mustard dipping sauce. Enjoy.
